063) (2)

(2) 6 Thou sacrifice and offering wouldst not; thou boar’st mine ear: burnt off’ring and sin offering thou neither didst require.

7 Then said I, Lo, I come: i’th’ books roll it is writ of me, 8 To do thy will, God, I delight: thy laws in my heart be.

9 In the great congregation thy righteousness I show: lo, I have not refrain’d my lips, Jehovah, thou dost know.

10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart alone;

I have declar’d thy faithfulness and thy salvation: thy mercy nor thy truth have I from the great church conceal’d.

11 Let not thy tender mercies be from me, O Lord, withheld: let both thy kindness and thy truth keep me my life throughout.

12 Because innumerable ills have compast me about: my sins have caught, me so that I not able am to see; more are they then hairs of my head: therefore my heart fails me.
