Psalm 40:5-10
English Standard Version
5 You have multiplied, O Lord my God,
your (A)wondrous deeds and your (B)thoughts toward us;
none can compare with you!
I will proclaim and tell of them,
yet they are (C)more than can be told.
6 (D)In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted,
but you have given me an open (E)ear.[a]
Burnt offering and sin offering
you have not required.
7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come;
in the scroll of the book it is written (F)of me:
8 (G)I delight to do your will, O my God;
your law is (H)within my heart.”
9 I have told the glad news of deliverance[b]
in (I)the great congregation;
behold, I have not (J)restrained my lips,
(K)as you know, O Lord.
10 I have not hidden your deliverance 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.
