¹⁴ In the way of Thy testimonies I have joyed, As over all wealth.

¹⁶ Thy words have been found, and I eat them, And Thy word is to me for a joy, And for the rejoicing of my heart, For Thy name is called on me, O Jehovah, God of Hosts.

¹⁶² I do rejoice concerning Thy saying, As one finding abundant spoil.

¹¹¹ I have inherited Thy testimonies to the age, For the joy of my heart `are' they.

⁴⁴ `Again, the reign of the heavens is like to treasure hid in the field, which a man having found did hide, and from his joy goeth, and all, as much as he hath, he selleth, and buyeth that field.

¹²⁷ Therefore I have loved Thy commands Above gold -- even fine gold.

⁷⁷ Meet me do Thy mercies, and I live, For Thy law `is' my delight.

⁷² Better to me `is' the law of Thy mouth Than thousands of gold and silver!

⁴⁷ And I delight myself in Thy commands, That I have loved,

⁹ The fear of Jehovah `is' clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah `are' true, They have been righteous -- together.

¹⁰ They are more desirable than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb.

¹² The command of His lips, and I depart not. Above my allotted portion I have laid up The sayings of His mouth.

⁴³ And fear came on every soul, many wonders also and signs were being done through the apostles,

⁴⁴ and all those believing were at the same place, and had all things common,

⁴⁵ and the possessions and the goods they were selling, and were parting them to all, according as any one had need.

⁴⁶ Daily also continuing with one accord in the temple, breaking also at every house bread, they were partaking of food in gladness and simplicity of heart,

⁴⁷ praising God, and having favour with all the people, and the Lord was adding those being saved every day to the assembly.
