The law of thy mouth - The law which proceeds out of thy mouth, or which thou hast spoken. Is better unto me - The Hebrew is, “Good to me is the law of thy mouth above thousands of gold and silver.” Than thousands of gold and silver - Than any amount of wealth. It is to me the most valuable possession; that which I prize above all other things. Compare the notes at Psalms 19:10. return to 'Top of Page'
