From the foreword via google translate: "The world is full of wonders if we only had eyes to see them with; but in the Bible are found even more and greater wonders than anywhere else. There are wonders of wisdom love power and goodness which are astonishing to behold; but we need God's help to be able to see these wonders. It was this very help that David prayed for when he lifted up his heart to God and said: "Open mine eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law."
