6 What should I bring before the Lord(A)
when I come to bow before God on high?
Should I come before him with burnt offerings,(B)
with year-old calves?

or with ten thousand streams of oil?
Should I give my firstborn for my transgression,(D)
the offspring of my body for my own sin?

and what it is the Lord requires of you:(F)
to act justly,(G)
to love faithfulness,(H)
and to walk humbly with your God.(I)
