6 With what shall I come before the Lord,
And bow myself before the High God?
Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings,
With calves a year old?

Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings,
With calves a year old?
7 aWill the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
Ten thousand brivers of oil?
cShall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
1The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

And to walk humbly with your God?
