A ti no te complacen sacrificios ni ofrendas,
    pero has abierto mis oídos para oírte;
tú no has pedido holocaustos
    ni sacrificios por el pecado.
Por eso dije: «Aquí me tienes
    —como el libro dice de mí—.
Me agrada, Dios mío, hacer tu voluntad;
    tu ley la llevo dentro de mí».

Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,

I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

(A)In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted,
    but you have given me an open (B)ear.[a]
Burnt offering and sin offering
    you have not required.
Then I said, “Behold, I have come;
    in the scroll of the book it is written (C)of me:
(D)I delight to do your will, O my God;
    your law is (E)within my heart.”
