Vers. 72. The law of thy mouth is better unto me, than thousands of gold and silver.
Vers. 72. The law of thy mouth is better vnto me, than thousands of golde and siluer.
Here he noteth one fruit of his affliction, that he was brought to make such account of Gods word, as that he preferred it to infinite numbers of gold and silver. And truly if we consider that it is the word of God that sustaineth us in our trouble, and is our comfort, we cannot then choose but make much of the word. No number of goods can help us in misery, and if the word do that which all other things cannot do, very meet it is that the word should be preferred to all other things whatsoever.
