Psalms 40:6-12

6Sacrifice and offering thou hast noH369 delight in; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou notH369 required.

7Then said I, Lo, I am come; in the roll of the book it is written of meH7592:

8I delight to doH935 thy will, O my GodH559; yea, thy law is withinH5921 my heart.

9I have published righteousness in the greatH430 congregation; lo, I will not refrain my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.

10I have notH3808 hid thy righteousnessH6664 within my heartH8193; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have notH3808 concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the greatH7227 congregationH6951.

11Withhold notH3808 thou thy tender mercies from meH3808, O LORDH2617: letH3808 thy lovingkindness and thy truthH571 continuallyH3820 preserve meH3808.

12For innumerable evils have compassed meH4480 aboutH4480, mineH4480 iniquities have overtaken meH4480, soH4480 that I am notH3808 able to look upH4480; they are moreH4480 thanH4480 the hairs of mineH4480 head, and my heart hath failedH3808 meH4480.
