Psalm 40:6-8
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
6 Sacrifice and offering you do not desire,
but you have given me an open ear.[a]
Burnt-offering and sin-offering
you have not required.
7 Then I said, ‘Here I am;
in the scroll of the book it is written of me.[b]
8 I delight to do your will, O my God;
your law is within my heart.’
