The cattle on a thousand hills.

What God Requires of Man

(A)With what shall I come to the Lord
And bow myself before the God on high?
Shall I come to Him with (B)burnt offerings,
With yearling calves?

In ten thousand rivers of oil?

The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

(E)Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come
(In (F)the scroll of the book it is written of Me)
To do Your will, O God.’”
