MHRPC: Psalm 40C

Psalm 40C: Psalm 40:5-10

Forest Green, C.M.D. [Low C]

5. ⁵ O LORD my God, how many are
        The wonders Thou has done!
How many are the gracious thoughts
        Which thou toward us hast shown!
No one can sort and set them out;
        None can compare to Thee!
If I would tell and speak of them,
        They could not numbered be.

6. ⁶ No sacrifice of blood or meal
        Is what Thou hast desired;
My ears Thou hast prepared to hear,
        No off'ring hast required.
⁷ Then in respones these were my words,
        "I come! Behold and see!
Within the volume of the book
        It written is of me:

7. ⁸ "To do Thy will I take delight,
        O Thou my God that art;
Because that holy law of Thine
        Is deep within my heart."
⁹ Within the congregation great
        I righteousness did preach;
Behold, Jehovah, Thou dost know,
        I'll not restrain my speech.

8. ¹⁰ I never have within my heart
        Concealed Thy righteousness;
I Thy salvation have declared
        And shown Thy faithfulness.
Thy mercy great, Thy steadfast love,
        I ever have revealed,
And from the congregation great
        Thy truth have not concealed.
