Psalm 40:6-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 Sacrifice and offering you do not desire,
but you have given me an open ear.[a]
Burnt offering and sin offering
you have not required.(A)
7 Then I said, “Here I am;
in the scroll of the book it is written of me.[b]
8 I delight to do your will, O my God;
your law is within my heart.”(B)
9 I have told the glad news of deliverance
in the great congregation;
see, I have not restrained my lips,
as you know, O Lord.(C)
10 I have not hidden your saving help within my heart;
I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation;
I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness
from the great congregation.(D)
11 Do not, O Lord, withhold
your mercy from me;
let your steadfast love and your faithfulness
keep me safe forever.(E)
12 For evils have encompassed me
without number;
my iniquities have overtaken me
until I cannot see;
they are more than the hairs of my head,
and my heart fails me.(F)
13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me;
O Lord, make haste to help me.(G)
14 Let all those be put to shame and confusion
who seek to snatch away my life;
let those be turned back and brought to dishonor
who desire my hurt.(H)
15 Let those be appalled because of their shame
who say to me, “Aha, Aha!”(I)
16 But may all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who love your salvation
say continually, “Great is the Lord!”(J)
17 As for me, I am poor and needy,
but the Lord takes thought for me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
do not delay, O my God.(K)
Psalm 40:6-17

6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire—(A)
but my ears you have opened[a]—(B)
burnt offerings(C) and sin offerings[b] you did not require.
7 Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—
it is written about me in the scroll.[c](D)
8 I desire to do your will,(E) my God;(F)
your law is within my heart.”(G)
9 I proclaim your saving acts(H) in the great assembly;(I)
I do not seal my lips, Lord,

I speak of your faithfulness(K) and your saving help.
I do not conceal your love and your faithfulness
from the great assembly.(L)
11 Do not withhold your mercy(M) from me, Lord;
may your love(N) and faithfulness(O) always protect(P) me.
12 For troubles(Q) without number surround me;
my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see.(R)
They are more than the hairs of my head,(S)
and my heart fails(T) within me.
13 Be pleased to save me, Lord;
come quickly, Lord, to help me.(U)

“The Lord is great!”(AB)
