Psalms 40:5-12

⁵My Lord God, thou hast made thy marvels many; and in thy thoughts none is, that is like thee toward us. I told and I spake; and they be multiplied above number.

⁶Thou wouldest or desiredest not sacrifice and offering; but thou madest perfectly ears to me. Thou askedest not burnt sacrifice, and other sacrifice for sin;

⁷then I said, Lo! I come. In the head of the book it is written of me,

⁸that I should do thy will; my God, I would also to do it; and thy law in the midst of mine heart.

⁹I told thy rightfulness or rightwise-ness in a great church; lo! I shall not refrain my lips, Lord, thou knewest.

¹⁰I hid not thy rightfulness or right-wiseness in mine heart; I said thy truth and thine health. I hid not thy mercy, and thy truth, from a much council.

¹¹But thou, Lord, make not far thy merciful doings from me; thy mercy and truth evermore take me up.

¹²For why evils, of which is no number, encompassed me; my wicked-nesses have taken me, and I might not, that I should see. Those or They be multiplied above the hairs of mine head; and mine heart forsook me.
