One of the reasons that we practice spiritual disciplines is that they teach us to get ourselves off the throne of our heart and put God where he belongs.
We don't simply read the Bible, we let the Bible read us, and we move from being informational readers to where we sit at the feet of Jesus and are transformed by him.
David is painting the picture of someone who has learned to sit with in delight in God's Scripture because it's more precious than gold and sweeter than honey from the honeycomb.
In verses seven through nine, David uses six different words to describe God's Word in the scriptures: law, statutes, precepts, commands, fear, and decrees.
