Psalm 40:8

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

Praise Jehovah! Blessed is the person who respects Jehovah and is happy to obey his commandments.

I shall delight in your statutes. I shall not forget your word!

I have not departed from the command of his lips. I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

You spoke to me, and I listened to every word. I belong to you, Lord Jehovah. Your words filled my heart with joy and happiness.

Jesus said: My food is to do the will of him that sent me. To finish his work!

My inner person delights in the law of God.

Those he first recognized, he ordained in advance that they be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

If he says to you: I will not leave you. If it is because he loves you and your household, since he fares well with you,

I do not reprove you for your sacrifices or burnt offerings, which are constantly (always) in front of me.

The Lord Jehovah has opened my ears. I will not rebel, nor will I turn away from him.
