Sacrifice and offering you do not desire,
but you have given me an open ear.
Burnt-offering and sin-offering
you have not required.
Then I said, ‘Here I am;
in the scroll of the book it is written of me.
I delight to do your will, O my God;
your law is within my heart.’
I can be distracted and fail to do your will.
Occasionally I am afraid and resist doing your will.
Too often I am self-serving, foolish, corrupt and choose to oppose your will.
But I always find delight in what you have willed.
May I more often say, Here I am.
Psalm 40
