Psalm 40:6-8
Holman Christian Standard Bible

6 You do not delight in sacrifice and offering;
You open my ears to listen.[a]
You do not ask for a whole burnt offering or a sin offering.(A)
7 Then I said, “See, I have come;
it is written about me in the volume of the scroll.(B)
8 I delight to do Your will, my God;(C)
Your instruction lives within me.”[b](D)
