What the Fathers say

Psalms 119:72

Western Saints

Augustine of Hippo

But that this is not gained, save through love, wherein he who doeth them hath delight, on which account it is said, "In Thy sweetness teach me Thy righteousnesses:" the following verse showeth, wherein he saith, "The law of Thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver" [Psalm 119:72]: so that love loveth the law of God more than avarice loveth thousands of gold and silver.
