"Sacrifice and oblation YOU did not desire; this, YOU had me understand. Burnt offering and sin offering YOU did not require.
Then I said, 'Here I come! as the scroll says of me. To do YOUR will is my delight, O GOD, for YOUR law is within my heart.'
In the great assembly I have proclaimed YOUR saving help. My lips, O YAHWEH, I did not seal--YOU know that very well.
But may all those who seek YOU, rejoice, and be glad in YOU; and may all who love YOUR saving grace continually say, 'YAHWEH is great.'"
- Psalm 40:7-8. 8-9. 10. 17
(The psalmist gives us assurance that no matter who we are and what our economic condition, if we love GOD, HE will always and forever be by our side. The words of Isaiah are echoed in this psalm and JESUS in Luke 4:21 said, "Today these prophetic words come true, even as you listen." And, the words of JESUS CHRIST our Savior will come true, if only we listen and obey!
Those who have experienced divine love and tenderness will feel impelled to announce it, as a great message, even at the cost of their own lives.)
