Psalm 40

Blessed is the man that hath set his hope in the Lord *

and turned not unto the proud, and to such as go about with lies.

O Lord my God, great are the wondrous works which thou hast done, like as be also thy thoughts which are to us-ward  *

and yet there is no man that ordereth them unto thee.

If I should declare them, and speak of them *

they should be more than I am able to express.

Sacrifice and meat-offering thou wouldest not *

but mine ears hast thou opened.

Burnt-offerings, and sacrifice for sin, hast thou not required *

then said I, Lo, I come,

In the volume of the book it is written of me, that I should fulfil thy will, O my God *

I am content to do it; yea, thy law is within my heart.
