Psalms 40:6 in Context — Psalms 40

4 Bem-aventurado [é] o homem que põe no SENHOR sua confiança; e não dá atenção aos arrogantes e aos que caminham em direção à mentira.

5 Tu, SENHOR meu Deus, multiplicaste para conosco tuas maravilhas e teus planos; eles não podem ser contados em ordem diante de ti; se eu [tentasse] contá-los e falá-los, eles são muito mais do que incontáveis.

6 Tu não te agradaste de sacrifício e oferta; [porém] tu me furaste as orelhas; tu não pediste nem holocausto nem oferta de expiação do pecado.

7 Então eu disse: Eis que venho; no rolo do livro está escrito sobre mim.

8 Meu Deus, eu desejo fazer a tua vontade; e tua Lei está no meio dos meus sentimentos.
