Psalms 40:6 Context
4Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his truste: and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turne aside to lies. 5Many, O Lord my God; are thy wonderfull workes which thou hast done, and thy thoughts, which are to vs ward: they cannot be reckoned vp in order vnto thee: if I would declare and speake of them, they are moe then can be numbred. 6Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire, mine eares hast thou opened: burnt offering and sinne-offering hast thou not required. 7Then sayd I, Loe, I come: in the volume of the booke it is written of me: 8I delight to doe thy will, O my God: yea thy lawe is within my heart.
