Psalm 40:6–12
6 1aSacrifice and meal offering You have not desired;
My ears You have 2opened;
Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required.
7 Then I said, “Behold, I come;
In the scroll of the book it is 1written of me.
8 aI delight to do Your will, O my God;
bYour Law is within my heart.”
9 I have aproclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great congregation;
Behold, I will bnot restrain my lips,
O Lord, cYou know.
10 I have anot hidden Your righteousness within my heart;
I have bspoken of Your faithfulness and Your salvation;
I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great congregation.
11 You, O Lord, will not withhold Your compassion from me;
1Your alovingkindness and Your truth will continually preserve me.
12 For evils beyond number have asurrounded me;
My biniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see;
They are cmore numerous than the hairs of my head,
