Listen and learn

As you know, a person’s language reveals a great deal about that person. If you le me listen to you long enough, I can tell what is in your heart. So, the psalmist says, the very nouns I use, or don’t use, will tell you what my commitments are. My language will reflect the fact that I have set Yahweh always before my face. He is the one whom I seek, and He is the one whom I want to serve.— Lectures in Old Testament Theology, page 62
