Psalm 119:65-72, ESV
Teth You have dealt well with your servant, O LORD, according to your word. Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in your commandments. Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep your word. You are good and do good; teach me your statutes. The insolent smear me with lies, but with my whole heart I keep your precepts; their heart is unfeeling like fat, but I delight in your law. It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn your statutes. The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
Psalm 119:65-72, JN paraphrase
Thank You, LORD, that You have taught me good judgment in the application of Your Word. You have taught me Your statues, Your precepts, Your law. All are indeed more valuable thousands of pieces of gold and silver.

Time to switch back for an evening with A.W. Tozer and his thoughts in Man, The Dwelling Place of God in the chapter on “God must be loved for Himself.” A sufficiently intriguing chapter simply based on the title alone.
