What God Requires

“With what shall I come before the Lord
    and bow myself before God on high?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,

    with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
    the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”(A)

Then I said, ‘See, I have come to do your will, O God’
    (in the scroll of the book[b] it is written of me).”(B)
