6 1You have not desiredH2654 2sacrificeH2077 and mealH4503 offeringH4503; You have 3openedH3738 my earsH241; You have not requiredH7592 burntH5930 offeringH5930 and sinH2401 offeringH2401.7ThenH227 I saidH559, “BeholdH2009, I have comeH935; It is 4writtenH3789 of me in the scrollH4039 of the bookH5612.8 5I delightH2654 to doH6213 Your willH7522, my GodH430; 6Your LawH8451 is withinH8432 my 7heartH4578.”

9I have 8proclaimedH1319 goodH1319 newsH1319 of righteousnessH6664 in the greatH7227 congregationH6951; BeholdH2009, I will 9not restrainH3607 my lipsH8193, LordH3068, 10You knowH3045.10I have 11not hiddenH3680 Your righteousnessH6666 withinH8432 my heartH3820; I have 12spokenH559 of Your faithfulnessH530 and Your salvationH8668; I have not concealedH3582 Your mercyH2617 and Your truthH571 from the greatH7227 congregationH6951.

11You, LordH3068, will not withholdH3607 Your compassionH7356 from me; 13Your 14mercyH2617 and Your truthH571 will continuallyH8548 watchH5341 overH5341 me.12For evilsH7463 beyondH5704 H369 numberH4557 have 15surroundedH661 me; My 16guiltyH5771 deedsH5771 have overtakenH5381 me, so that I amH3201 not ableH3201 to seeH7200; They areH6105 17moreH4480 numerousH6105 thanH4480 the hairsH8185 of my headH7218, And my 18heartH3820 has 19failedH5800 me.
