Psalms 40:6-9

6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire— but my ears you have opened[a] — burnt offerings and sin offerings[b] you did not require.
7 Then I said, “Here I am, I have come— it is written about me in the scroll.[c]
8 I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart.”
9 I proclaim your saving acts in the great assembly; I do not seal my lips, LORD, as you know.
