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.”
9. I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly;see, I do not keep my mouth closed —as You know, Lord.
10. I did not hide Your righteousness in my heart;I spoke about Your faithfulness and salvation;I did not conceal Your constant love and truthfrom the great assembly.
11. Lord, do not withhold Your compassion from me;Your constant love and truth will always guard me.
12. For troubles without number have surrounded me;my sins have overtaken me; I am unable to see.They are more than the hairs of my head,and my courage leaves me.
