God's Word is here revealed in several aspects —

I. AS A PRIZE. It is "above gold."

1. It is intrinsically more valuable than gold. It contains the mind of God.

2. It is relatively more valuable than gold. It procures greater blessings.

II. As a LAW, "All Thy precepts." As a law —

1. It is to be righteous — "Concerning all things, to be righteous.

2. It is to be practical, "I hate every false way."

III. As a REVELATION. As a revelation it is —

1. Wonderful, "Thy testimonies are wonderful."

2. Spiritually enlightening. "The entrance of Thy Word giveth light." It lights up the soul.

IV. AS A NECESSITY (ver. 131). It is the air without which you cannot breathe, food without which you cannot live.

(Homilist.)
