4 Happy are those who trust the Lord,who do not turn to idolsor join those who worship false gods.
5 You have done many things for us, O Lord our God;there is no one like you!You have made many wonderful plans for us.I could never speak of them all —their number is so great!
6 You do not want sacrifices and offerings;you do not ask for animals burnt whole on the altaror for sacrifices to take away sins.Instead, you have given me ears to hear you,
7 and so I answered, “Here I am;your instructions for me are in the book of the Law.
8 How I love to do your will, my God!I keep your teaching in my heart.”
9 In the assembly of all your people, Lord,I told the good news that you save us.You know that I will never stop telling it.
10 I have not kept the news of salvation to myself;I have always spoken of your faithfulness and help.In the assembly of all your people I have not been silentabout your loyalty and constant love.
