I delight in the way of your decrees as much as in all riches. I will meditate on your precepts, and fix my eyes on your ways. I will delight in your statues; I will not forget your word.

Postlude

I think it is boring, because I did not believe it, I don’t know the rule about it, but it is he first time I contact the religion, so I felt some excited about it.
