127. Therefore I love Your commandments Above gold, yes, above fine gold.

128. Therefore I esteem right all Your precepts concerning everything, I hate every false way.

129. Your testimonies are wonderful; Therefore my soul observes them.

130. The unfolding of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.

131. I opened my mouth wide and panted, For I longed for Your commandments.
