⁹To do your will, O God, is my delight;
    your law is in my heart.”^[b]

Footnotes

Psalm 40:8 The psalmist presents himself to the Lord, submitting himself to whatever his Master may require (Heb 10:9). He presents himself as an offering to the Lord (see Rom 12:1f). It is written of me in the scroll: the scroll is the Torah or the Mosaic Law, transcribed on parchment scrolls. The alternative Greek reading is “with the scroll written for me,” which suggests a Messianic sense.
Psalm 40:9 Heart: see note on Ps 4:8.

Serbian New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version

⁸– милина ми је да вршим твоју вољу, Боже мој.
    Закон твој дубоко ми је у срцу.«
⁹Радосну вест о праведности
    објавих на великом скупу
– нисам своја уста затворио,
    и ти то знаш, ГОСПОДЕ;
¹⁰нисам твоју праведност дубоко у срцу сакрио.
    Говорио сам о твојој верности и спасењу,
нисам твоју љубав и истину прикрио
    од великог скупа.
