You did not ask for burnt offerings or sacrifices for sin. (7) Then I said, "I have come! (It is written about me in the scroll of the book.) (8) I am happy to do your will, O my God." Your teachings are deep within me. (9) I will announce the good news of righteousness among those assembled for worship. I will not close my lips. You know that, O LORD. (10) I have not buried your righteousness deep in my heart. I have been outspoken about your faithfulness and your salvation. I have not hidden your mercy and your truth from those assembled for worship.

Instead, you have given me ears to hear you, (7) and so I answered, "Here I am; your instructions for me are in the book of the Law. (8) How I love to do your will, my God! I keep your teaching in my heart." (9) In the assembly of all your people, LORD, I told the good news that you save us. You know that I will never stop telling it.
