Psalms 39:7-12

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 my heart.

¹⁰I have preached righteousness in the great congregation; Lo! I will not refrain my lips; O Lord, thou knowest my righteousness.

¹¹I have not hidden thy truth within my heart, And I have declared thy salvation; I have not hidden thy mercy and thy truth from the great congregation.

¹²But thou, Lord, remove not thy compassion far from me; Thy mercy and thy truth have helped me continually.
