4Happy is the man who has faith in the Lord, and does not give honour to the men of pride or to those who are turned away to deceit.
5O Lord my God, great are the wonders which you have done in your thought for us; it is not possible to put them out in order before you; when I would give an account of them, their number is greater than I may say.
6You had no desire for offerings of beasts or fruits of the earth; ears you made for me: for burned offerings and sin offerings you made no request.
7Then I said, See, I come; it is recorded of me in the roll of the book,
8My delight is to do your pleasure, O my God; truly, your law is in my heart.
9I have given news of righteousness in the great meeting; O Lord, you have knowledge that I have not kept back my words.
10Your righteousness has not been folded away in my heart; I have made clear your true word and your salvation; I have not kept secret your mercy or your faith from the great meeting.
11Take not away your gentle mercies from me, O Lord; let your mercy and your faith keep me safe for ever.
12For unnumbered evils are round about me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I am bent down with their weight; they are more than the hairs of my head, my strength is gone because of them.
