Psalm 40:5-10
New American Standard Bible
5 Many, Lord my God, are (A)the wonders which You have done,
And Your (B)thoughts toward us;
There is no one to compare with You.
If I would declare and speak of them,
They (C)would be too numerous to count.
6 (D)You have not desired [a]sacrifice and meal offering;
You have [b]opened my ears;
You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.
7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come;
It is [c]written of me in the scroll of the book.
8 (E)I delight to do Your will, my God;
(F)Your Law is within my [d]heart.”
9 I have (G)proclaimed good news of righteousness in the great congregation;
Behold, I will (H)not restrain my lips,
Lord, (I)You know.
10 I have (J)not hidden Your righteousness within my heart;
I have (K)spoken of Your faithfulness and Your salvation;
I have not concealed Your mercy and Your truth from the great congregation.
