New Testament

Psalm 39:5-11 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

5. Blessed is the man whose hope is in the name of the Lord, and who has no respect for vanities and absurd falsehoods.

6. You have accomplished your many wonders, O Lord my God, and there is no one similar to you in your thoughts. I have announced and I have spoken: they are multiplied beyond number.

7. Sacrifice and oblation, you did not want. But you have perfected ears for me. Holocaust and sin offering, you did not require.

8. Then I said, "Behold, I draw near." At the head of the book, it has been written of me:

9. that I should do your will. My God, I have willed it. And your law is in the midst of my heart.

10. I have announced your justice in a great Church: behold, I will not restrain my lips. O Lord, you have known it.

11. I have not concealed your justice within my heart. I have spoken your truth and your salvation. I have not concealed your mercy and your truth from a great assembly.
