Psalm 40:6-12

¹^aSacrifice and meal offering ²You have not desired;

My ears You have ³opened;

Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required.

Then I said, “Behold, I come;

In the scroll of the book it is ¹written of me.

^aI desire to do Your will, O my God;

^bYour law is within my inner being.”

I ^aproclaim good news of righteousness in the great assembly;

Behold, I do ^bnot restrain my lips,

O Yahweh, ^cYou know.

I do ^anot conceal Your righteousness within my heart;

I ^bspeak of Your faithfulness and Your salvation;

I do not hide Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great assembly.

You, O Yahweh, will not withhold Your compassion from me;

¹Your ^alovingkindness and Your truth will continually guard me.

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,

And my ^dheart has ¹failed me.
