Psalm 40:4-6
Amplified Bible
4
Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who makes the Lord his trust,
And does not regard the proud nor those who lapse into lies.
5
Many, O Lord my God, are the wonderful works which You have done,
And Your thoughts toward us;
There is none to compare with You.
If I would declare and speak of your wonders,
They would be too many to count.
6
Sacrifice and meal offering You do not desire, nor do You delight in them;
You have opened my ears and given me the capacity to hear [and obey Your word];
Burnt offerings and sin offerings You do not require.(A)
Psalm 40:4-6
New International Version
4 Blessed is the one(A)
who trusts in the Lord,(B)
who does not look to the proud,(C)
to those who turn aside to false gods.[a](D)
5 Many, Lord my God,
are the wonders(E) you have done,
the things you planned for us.
None can compare(F) with you;
were I to speak and tell of your deeds,
they would be too many(G) to declare.
