Psalms 40:8
Compare all
6 aSacrifice 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 aI delight to do Your will, O my God,
And Your law is bwithin my heart.” 
9 aI have proclaimed the good news of righteousness
In the great assembly;
Indeed, bI do not restrain my lips,
O Lord, You Yourself know. 
10 aI 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;
aLet Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me.
