⁶ With what shall I come before the Lord,
And bow myself before the High God?
Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings,
With calves a year old?
^7 (A)Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
Ten thousand ^(B)rivers of oil?
^(C)Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
^[a]The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

¹² “If I were hungry, I would not tell you;
^(B)For the world is Mine, and all its fullness.

^6 (A)Sacrifice and offering You did not desire;
My ears You have opened.
Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require.

^(B)“Sacrifice and offering You did not desire,
But a body You have prepared for Me.
⁶ In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin
You had no pleasure.
⁷ Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—
In the volume of the book it is written of Me—
To do Your will, O God.’ ”
