- to meditate:
- or, to pray, They who acknowledge God in all their ways, will find him present to direct their paths, and make their way prosperous; and when the prayer of faith meets with an immediate answer, the glory ought as speedily to be rendered to God in solemn praise and thanksgiving. "This¹ bookª of the lawª shall not¹ departªº out of thy mouth;ª¹ but thou shalt meditateªº therein dayª and night,ª that¹ thou mayest observeªº to doªº according to all¹ that is writtenªº therein: for¹ then¹ thou shalt makeªº¹ thy wayª prosperous,ªº and then¹ thou shalt have good success.ªº" {Jsh 1:8} + "But¹¹ his delightª [is] in the lawª of the LORD;ª and in his lawª doth he meditateªº dayª and night.ª" {Psa 1:2} + "I will rememberªººº the worksª of the LORD:ª surely¹ I will rememberªº thy wondersª of old.ª¹ ...
