Psalm 40:5-10

View Full Chapter

5Many, LORD my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare.

6Sacrifice and offering you did not desire— but my ears you have opened Hebrew; some Septuagint manuscripts but a body you have prepared for me — burnt offerings and sin offerings Or purification offerings you did not require.

7Then I said, “Here I am, I have come— it is written about me in the scroll. Or come / with the scroll written for me

8I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart.”

9I proclaim your saving acts in the great assembly; I do not seal my lips, LORD, as you know.

10I do not hide your righteousness in my heart; I speak of your faithfulness and your saving help. I do not conceal your love and your faithfulness from the great assembly.
