Psalm 40:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵You have multiplied, O Lord my God,
    your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us;
    none can compare with you.
Were I to proclaim and tell of them,
    they would be more than can be counted.

⁶Sacrifice and offering you do not desire,
    but you have given me an open ear.^[a]

⁷Then I said, “Here I am;
    in the scroll of the book it is written of me.^[b]
