Psalm 40:5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁵You have multiplied, O Lord my God,
    your wondrous deeds and your thoughts towards us;
    none can compare with you.
Were I to proclaim and tell of them,
    they would be more than can be counted.

⁶Sacrifice and offering you do not desire,
    but you have given me an open ear.^[a]
Burnt-offering and sin-offering
    you have not required.
⁷Then I said, ‘Here I am;
    in the scroll of the book it is written of me.^[b]
