Psalm 119:127 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 119:127

Therefore I love thy commandments
Because he was the Lord's servant, as Aben Ezra; or rather because the wicked made void the law. His love was the more inflamed and increased towards it by the contempt it was had in by others; he preferred it

above gold, yea, above fine gold;
or gold of Phez, a place where the best gold was, as was thought: the Septuagint and Vulgate Latin versions render it "the topaz"; and the Syriac and Arabic versions, "precious stones" or "gems"; see ( Psalms 119:72 ) ( Psalms 19:10 ) .

125 I'm your servant - help me understand what that means, the inner meaning of your instructions.

126 It's time to act, God; they've made a shambles of your revelation!

127 Yea-Saying God, I love what you command, I love it better than gold and gemstones;

128 Yea-Saying God, I honor everything you tell me, I despise every deceitful detour.

129 Every word you give me is a miracle word - how could I help but obey?
