Psalm 40:4-6

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴ Blessed is the man who makes
    the Lord his trust,
who does not turn to the proud,
    to those who go astray after false gods!
⁵ Thou hast multiplied, O Lord my God,
    thy wondrous deeds and thy thoughts toward us;
    none can compare with thee!
Were I to proclaim and tell of them,
    they would be more than can be numbered.

⁶ Sacrifice and offering thou dost not desire;
    but thou hast given me an open ear.^[a]
Burnt offering and sin offering
    thou hast not required.
