Psalms 40 — Context

Happy 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.

O 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.

You 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.

Then I said, See, I come; it is recorded of me in the roll of the book,

My delight is to do your pleasure, O my God; truly, your law is in my heart.

I have given news of righteousness in the great meeting; O Lord, you have knowledge that I have not kept back my words.

Your 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.
