Psalms 39:7-11

⁷Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire; but thou hast pierced ears for me. Burnt offering and sin offering thou didst not require:

⁸Then said I, Behold I come. In the head of the book it is written of me

⁹That I should do thy will: O my God, I have desired it, and thy law in the midst of my heart.

¹⁰I have declared thy justice in a great church, lo, I will not restrain my lips: O Lord, thou knowest it.

¹¹I have not hid thy justice within my heart: I have declared thy truth and thy salvation. I have not concealed thy mercy and thy truth from a great council.
