View Full Chapter

4Blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods. Or to lies

5Many, LORD my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare.

6Sacrifice and offering you did not desire— but my ears you have opened Hebrew; some Septuagint manuscripts but a body you have prepared for me — burnt offerings and sin offerings Or purification offerings you did not require.

7Then I said, “Here I am, I have come— it is written about me in the scroll. Or come / with the scroll written for me

8I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart.”
