Psalms 40:4-8 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

4. How happy is the manwho has put his trust in the Lordand has not turned to the proudor to those who run after lies!

5. Lord my God, You have done many things —Your wonderful works and Your plans for us;none can compare with You.If I were to report and speak of them,they are more than can be told.

6. You do not delight in sacrifice and offering;You open my ears to listen. You do not ask for a whole burnt offering or a sin offering.

7. Then I said, “See, I have come;it is written about me in the volume of the scroll.

8. I delight to do Your will, my God; Your instruction lives within me.”
