"I want to do what pleases you, my God. Your law dominates my thoughts.”"
— Psalms 40:8, NET Bible
“I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.”
“I delight to do thy will, O my God; Yea, thy law is within my heart. ”
“I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your law is within my heart."”
“All my enemies whispered together against me: they devised evils to me.”
“My delight is to do your pleasure, O my God; truly, your law is in my heart.”
“I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.”
O LORD, my God, you have accomplished many things; you have done amazing things and carried out your purposes for us. No one can thwart you! I want to declare them and talk about them, but they are too numerous to recount!
Receiving sacrifices and offerings are not your primary concern. You make that quite clear to me! You do not ask for burnt sacrifices and sin offerings.
Then I say,“Look! I come! What is written in the scroll pertains to me.
I want to do what pleases you, my God. Your law dominates my thoughts.”
I have told the great assembly about your justice. Look! I spare no words! O LORD, you know this is true.
I have not failed to tell about your justice; I spoke about your reliability and deliverance; I have not neglected to tell the great assembly about your loyal love and faithfulness.
O LORD, you do not withhold your compassion from me. May your loyal love and faithfulness continually protect me!
