Psalm 40:6-8
New Living Translation
6 You take no delight in sacrifices or offerings.
Now that you have made me listen, I finally understand[a]—
you don’t require burnt offerings or sin offerings.
7 Then I said, “Look, I have come.
As is written about me in the Scriptures:
8 I take joy in doing your will, my God,
for your instructions are written on my heart.”
Psalm 40:6-8
New International Version
6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire—(A)
but my ears you have opened[a]—(B)
burnt offerings(C) and sin offerings[b] you did not require.
7 Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—
it is written about me in the scroll.[c](D)
8 I desire to do your will,(E) my God;(F)
your law is within my heart.”(G)
