Psalm 40:4-6

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who makes the Lord his refuge and trust, and turns not to the proud or to followers of false gods.

⁵Many, O Lord my God, are the wonderful works which You have done, and Your thoughts toward us; no one can compare with You! If I should declare and speak of them, they are too many to be numbered.

⁶Sacrifice and offering You do not desire, nor have You delight in them; You have given me the capacity to hear and obey [Your law, a more valuable service than] burnt offerings and sin offerings [which] You do not require.

New International Version

⁴Blessed is the one^(A)
    who trusts in the Lord,^(B)
who does not look to the proud,^(C)
    to those who turn aside to false gods.^[a]^(D)
⁵Many, Lord my God,
    are the wonders^(E) you have done,
    the things you planned for us.
None can compare^(F) with you;
    were I to speak and tell of your deeds,
    they would be too many^(G) to declare.
