Psalms 19:10

"The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever. The LORD’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether."

Key Reflection

The verse suggests that fearing the Lord leads to a pure and lasting state of heart, while God's laws are unchanging in their truth and righteousness, providing a steadfast guide for believers.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

More to be desired are they than gold -That is, his law; or, as in the preceding verse, his judgments. They are more valuable than gold; they are of such a nature that the soul should more desire to be in possession of them than to be in possession of gold, and should value them more. The psalmist here and in the following verses describes his estimate of the worth of revealed truth as he perceived it. In the previous verses he had shown its value in the abstract; he here speaks of his own feelings in regard to it, and shows that he esteems it more than he did the objects most prized and valued among men.
