teach me your statutes!
With my lips I declare
all the rules of your mouth.
I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies,
As much as in all riches. (Ps 119:12-14)
You are gentle and loving, and worthy to be praised by all. For this reason I beg to learn from You what can make me righteous. Whatever I learn from Your goodness I shall teach to the ignorant.… The possession of Your testimonies is more satisfying to me than every kind of wealth.
Theodoret of Cyrus, Commentary of the Psalms 119.8-9
