Psalms 119:125
123 My eyes fail, looking for Your salvation, and for Your righteous promise.
124 Deal with Your servant according to Your loving devotion, and teach me Your statutes.
I am Your servant; give me understanding, that I may know Your testimonies.
126 It is time for the LORD to act, for they have broken Your law.
127 Therefore I love Your commandments more than gold, even the purest gold.
