Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust
and does not turn to the proud and to those who fall away to a lie.[a]
Many things, O Yahweh my God, you have done—
your wonderful deeds and your thoughts toward us.

My ears you have opened.[b]
Burnt offering and sin offering you have not demanded.

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