Psalms 119:128
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.
Therefore I admire all Your precepts and hate every false way.
129 Wonderful are Your testimonies; therefore I obey them.
130 The unfolding of Your words gives light; it informs the simple.
