Psalm 40:4-6
American Standard Version
4 Blessed is the man that maketh Jehovah his trust,
And respecteth not the proud, nor such as [a]turn aside to lies.
5 Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful works which thou hast done,
And thy thoughts which are to us-ward:
[b]They cannot be set in order unto thee;
If I would declare and speak of them,
They are more than can be numbered.
6 Sacrifice and [c]offering thou hast no delight in;
[d]Mine ears hast thou opened:
Burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not required.

New International Version
4 Blessed is the one(A)
who trusts in the Lord,(B)
who does not look to the proud,(C)
to those who turn aside to false gods.[a](D)
5 Many, Lord my God,
are the wonders(E) you have done,
the things you planned for us.
None can compare(F) with you;
were I to speak and tell of your deeds,
they would be too many(G) to declare.
