Psalm 19:10

10 Son más deseables que el oro,
incluso que el oro más puro.
Son más dulces que la miel,
incluso que la miel que gotea del panal.

Psalm 19:10 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 19:10

More to be desired [are they] than gold
This refers to all the truths in the word of God; to all the doctrines of the Gospel; which, by good men, are more desirable, and by them more prized and valued, than all worldly riches and treasure;

yea, than much fine gold:
more than gold, and the best of gold, and a great deal of it, than thousands of gold and silver; see ( Psalms 119:72 Psalms 119:127 ) ( Proverbs 8:10 Proverbs 8:11 ) ;

sweeter also than honey, and the honeycomb;
or "the dropping of the honeycombs" ^F8, which is the purest and sweetest of the honey; and what honey is to the natural taste of men, that is the Gospel, and the truths of it, to the spiritual taste of believers, ( Psalms 119:103 ) ; and when the presence of Christ is enjoyed, his love is shed abroad, and the blessings of his grace are partook of, the ordinances of the Gospel are very delightful, ( Song of Solomon 2:3 ) ; eloquence, and eloquent orators, are sometimes described by mellifluous words; or by their expressions being like honey, and sweeter than that ^F9.
