Psalm 40:4–11

4 eBlessed is that man who makes the Lord his trust,

And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

5 fMany, O Lord my God, are Your wonderful works

Which You have done;

gAnd Your thoughts toward us

Cannot be recounted to You in order;

If I would declare and speak of them,

They are more than can be numbered.

6 hSacrifice and offering You did not desire;

My ears You have opened.

Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require.

7 Then I said, “Behold, I come;

In the scroll of the book it is written of me.

8 iI delight to do Your will, O my God,

And Your law is jwithin my heart.”

9 kI have proclaimed the good news of righteousness

In the great assembly;

Indeed, lI do not restrain my lips,

O Lord, You Yourself know.

10 mI have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart;

I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation;

I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth

From the great assembly.

11 Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O Lord;

nLet Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me.
