Psalms 19:11

They also warn your servant (remind, enlighten, instruct),
keeping them (preserving, protecting them) brings great reward.
[The word of the Lord is more valuable than the finest gold and the sweetest honey. In addition to this obvious image, there is also a connection to the recurring pattern in the psalm that speaks of man's outer and inner life, see verses 2 and 14. Gold has to do with our relationships with our fellow human beings, while honey has to do with our inner life. Gold only has value if it is in demand among people. On a desert island, finding gold would not change the situation, but honey would be a valuable, life-changing discovery. God's word influences our speech, which bears good fruit for everyone around us and gives strength and energy to our inner being. Really fresh honey has good health-promoting properties. Drawing new strength and nourishment from His word every day promotes life and gives knowledge and insight into His good will.]
