Psalm 40:2, 4, 7-8, 8-9, 10
Chapter 40
2
The Lord Inclined Toward Me and Heard My Cry
With resolve I waited for the Lord; he listened and heard me beg.4
He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and be awed and put their trust in the Lord.
7
Sacrifice and oblation you did not desire; this, you had me understand. Burnt offering and sin offering you do not require.
8
Then I said: “Here I come! as the scroll says of me.
9
To do your will is my delight, O God, for your law is within my heart.”
10
In the great assembly, I have proclaimed your saving help. My lips, O Lord, I did not sea— you know that very well.
