Psalms 39:5-9

⁵Blessed is the man whose hope is the name of the Lord, and who has not regarded vanities and false frenzies.

⁶O Lord my God, thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, and in thy thoughts there is none who shall be likened to thee: I declared and spoke of them: they exceeded number.

⁷Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not; but a body hast thou prepared me: whole-burnt-offering and sacrifice for sin thou didst not require.

⁸Then I said, Behold, I come: in the volume of the book it is written concerning me,

⁹I desired to do thy will, O my God, and thy law in the midst of mine heart.
