Psalms 40:9

Witness and missionJustice

7 Then I said, “Here I am, I have come— it is written about me in the scroll:

8 I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.”

I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; behold, I do not seal my lips, as You, O LORD, do know.

10 I have not covered up Your righteousness in my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and salvation; I have not concealed Your loving devotion and faithfulness from the great assembly.

11 O LORD, do not withhold Your mercy from me; Your loving devotion and faithfulness will always guard me.
