5. Many, Lord my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare.
6. Sacrifice and offering you did not desire— but my ears you have opened — burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.
7. Then I said, “Here I am, I have come— it is written about me in the scroll.
8. I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart.”
9. I proclaim your saving acts in the great assembly; I do not seal my lips, Lord, as you know.
10. I do not hide your righteousness in my heart; I speak of your faithfulness and your saving help. I do not conceal your love and your faithfulness from the great assembly.
11. Do not withhold your mercy from me, Lord; may your love and faithfulness always protect me.
12. For troubles without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails within me.
13. Be pleased to save me, Lord; come quickly, Lord, to help me.
14. May all who want to take my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.
15. May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!” be appalled at their own shame.
