9通常默想主的话会比祷读主的话还要缓慢，还要细致。譬如，我们默想出埃及二十章二节的时候，可能对自己说，“要记念耶和华是你的主。祂曾将你从埃及地，从为奴之家领出来。现在你出来了。阿们！主啊，我敬拜你，将我从捆绑中领出来！”我们默想神的话，对主说话，或是对自己说话，都该是自然的，并且该满了享受。我们也许低头敬拜主，思想主的话，有所记念，或责备自己。……任何真正寻求主，以活的方式默想十诫的人，都会享受主、敬拜主、祷告、在主面前与自己交谈并且赞美主。当然，这样接受神律法的人，不会把它当作死的字句来应用，乃是把它当作神活的话来接受。
9Usually musing upon the Word will be slower and finer than pray-reading the Word. For example, in our musing upon Exodus 20:2 we may say to ourselves, “Remember that Jehovah is your Lord. He has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the slave house, the house of bondage. Now you are out. Amen! O Lord, I worship You for bringing me out of bondage!” In all our musing upon God’s Word, talking to the Lord or conversing with ourselves, we should be spontaneous and full of enjoyment. We may bow down to worship the Lord, ponder the Word, remember, or give ourselves a rebuke… Any genuine seeker of the Lord who muses upon the Ten Commandments in a living way will enjoy the Lord, worship Him, pray, converse with himself in the Lord’s presence, and also praise the Lord. Surely one who takes the law of God in such a way will not apply it as dead letters, but will take it as God’s living word.
