New Testament

Psalms 40:3-11 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

3. He put a new song in my mouth.It was a song of praise to our God.Many people will see this and worship him.Then they will trust the Lord.

4. Happy is the personwho trusts the Lord.He doesn’t turn to those who are proud,to those who worship false gods.

5. Lord our God, you have done many miracles.Your plans for us are many.If I tried to tell them all,there would be too many to count.

6. You do not want sacrifices and offerings.But you have made a hole in my earto show that my body and life are yours.You do not ask for burnt offeringsand offerings to take away sins.

7. Then I said, “Look, I have come.It is written about me in the book.

8. My God, I want to do what you want.Your teachings are in my heart.”

9. I will tell about your goodness in the great meeting of your people.Lord, you know my lips are not silent.

10. I do not hide your goodness in my heart.I speak about your loyalty and salvation.I do not hide your love and truthfrom the people in the great meeting.

11. Lord, do not hold back your mercy from me.Let your love and truth always protect me.
