Psalm 40:6-8

Contemporary English Version

^6 (A) Sacrifices and offerings
    are not what please you;
gifts and payment for sin
    are not what you demand.
But you made me willing
    to listen and obey.
⁷ And so, I said, “I am here
    to do what is written
about me in the book,
    where it says,
⁸ ‘I enjoy pleasing you.
    Your Law is in my heart.’ ”
