Psalm 40:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 [a]O Lord my God, thou hast made thy wonderful works so many, that none can count in order to thee thy thoughts toward us: I would declare and speak of them, but they are more than I am able to express.
6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire: (for [b]mine ears hast thou prepared) burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
7 [c]Then said I, Lo, I come: for in the roll of the book it is written of me.
