Psalms 40:6-9

612Sacrifice and meal offering You have not desired; My ears You have 3opened; Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required.7Then I said, “Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book it is 4written of me.85I delight to do Your will, O my God; 6Your Law is within my heart.”

9I have 7proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great congregation; Behold, I will 8not restrain my lips, O Lord, 9You know.
