Psalm 40:4-6
New American Standard Bible
4 How (A)blessed is the man who has made the Lord his trust,
And (B)has not turned to the [a]proud, nor to those who (C)become involved in falsehood.
5 Many, Lord my God, are (D)the wonders which You have done,
And Your (E)thoughts toward us;
There is no one to compare with You.
If I would declare and speak of them,
They (F)would be too numerous to count.
6 (G)You have not desired [b]sacrifice and meal offering;
You have [c]opened my ears;
You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.

5 Many, Lord my God,

King James Version
4 Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5 Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
