7 Then I said, ‘Here I am, my God!
The message that is written in the book
    tells me what I must do.[a]
8 I want to do what pleases you.
    Your law is always in my thoughts.’
9 In the great meeting of your people,
    I have told them about your justice.
I cannot keep quiet!
    You know that this is true, Lord.
