You do not delight in sacrifice and offering;
You open my ears to listen.[a]
You do not ask for a whole burnt offering or a sin offering.(A)
Then I said, “See, I have come;
it is written about me in the volume of the scroll.(B)
I delight to do Your will, my God;(C)
Your instruction lives within me.”[b](D)

I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly;
see, I do not keep my mouth closed[c]
as You know, Lord.(E)
10 I did not hide Your righteousness in my heart;
I spoke about Your faithfulness and salvation;
I did not conceal Your constant love and truth
from the great assembly.(F)
