Psalms 40:5-11

1. 5 Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

2. 6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

3. 7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,

4. 8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

5. 9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.

6. 10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.

7. 11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
