And upon these I write the things of my soul, and many of the scriptures which are engraven upon the plates of brass. For my soul delighteth in the scriptures, and my heart pondereth them, and writeth them for the learning and the profit of my children. Behold, my soul delighteth in the things of the Lord; and my heart pondereth continually upon the things which I have seen and heard.
Thus begins the passage known as the Psalm of Nephi. Like Nephi, my soul delights in the scriptures, and I ponder them, and I write about them for the profit of my children. The scriptures teach us the language of the Holy Ghost. To paraphrase a very wise man: "When we want to talk to God, pray; when we want to hear him answer, read the scriptures."
