Psalm 39 : 7-8a, 8b-9, 10, 17

Sacrifice and oblation you did not desire; this you had me understand. Burnt offering and sin offering you do not require.

Then I said, “Here I come! as the scroll says of me. To do Your will is my delight, o God, for Your law is within my heart.”

In the great assembly I have proclaimed Your saving help. My lips, o Lord, I dd not seal – You know that very well.

But may all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You, and may all who love Your saving grace continually say, “The Lord is great.”
