More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
God's truth is solid gold, finer gold, more gold than earth has ever mined. Men will stake their ease and life for wealth; why should we not burn with fiercer desire for what is eternally precious? The sweetest honey from the comb cannot match the joy that floods the soul when divine truth becomes his own.
AI summary
The words of God are desirable as outward treasure and sweet as inward nourishment; the servant who is warned by them knows by experience that their observance brings great reward. Yet because the Law shows man to himself, even the pardoned saint must pray for forgiveness of sins he cannot perceive.

Commenting on Psalm 19:10-14
David sets before us two mirrors of God's glory: first the heavens themselves with their exquisite order, then the Law in which God made Himself known to His chosen people. From this he moves to praise the Law at length before closing with prayer.
