6. Sacrifice and offering you did not desire –but my ears you have opened; –burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.
7. Then I said, ‘Here I am, I have come –it is written about me in the scroll.
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.
10. I do not hide your righteousness in my heart;I speak of your faithfulness and your saving help.I do not conceal your love and your faithfulnessfrom the great assembly.
11. Do not withhold your mercy from me, Lord;may your love and faithfulness always protect me.
12. For troubles without number surround me;my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see.They are more than the hairs of my head,and my heart fails within me.
