Psalm 40:4-6

International Children’s Bible

⁴Happy is the person
    who trusts the Lord.
He doesn’t turn to those who are proud,
    to those who worship false gods.
⁵Lord our God, you have done many miracles.
    Your plans for us are many.
If I tried to tell them all,
    there would be too many to count.

⁶You do not want sacrifices and offerings.
    But you have made a hole in my ear
    to show that my body and life are yours.
You do not ask for burnt offerings
    and offerings to take away sins.

Psalm 40:4-6

New International Version

⁴Blessed 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)
⁵Many, 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.
