Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore I love thy commandments,.... Because he was the Lord's servant, as Aben Ezra; or rather because the wicked made void the law. His love was the more inflamed and increased towards it by the contempt it was had in by others; he preferred it

above gold, yea, above fine gold; or gold of Phez, a place where the best gold was, as was thought: the Septuagint and Vulgate Latin versions render it "the topaz"; and the Syriac and Arabic versions, "precious stones" or "gems"; see Psalms 119:72.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Therefore I love thy commandments ... - The more people break them Psalms 119:126, the more I see their value; the more precious they are to me. The fact that they make thy law void, and that evil consequences result from their conduct, only impresses my mind the more with a sense of the value of the law, and makes my heart cling to it the more. There is almost nothing that will so impress upon our minds the importance of law as the sight of the effects which follow when it is disregarded.

Above gold ... - See the notes at Psalms 119:72. Compare Psalms 19:10.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 119:127. Therefore I love thy commandments — I see thou wilt do all things well. I will trust in thee.

Above gold — מזהב mizzahab, more than resplendent gold; gold without any stain or rust.

Yea, above fine gold. — ומפז umippaz, above solid gold; gold separated from the dross, perfectly refined.
