40 (2)	Psalm 40 Version 2 (vv 6-17)	CM
	THE offering on the altar burned    Gives no delight to Thee; The hearing ear, the willing heart,     Thou, Lord, hast given to me.
2	Then, O my God, I come, I come     Thy purpose to fulfil; Thy law is written in my heart,     ’Tis joy to do Thy will.
3	Before the people I will now     Thy righteousness proclaim; Thou knowest, Lord, I will not cease     To praise Thy holy name.
4	Thy tender mercies, O my Lord,     Withhold not, I implore; But let Thy kindness and Thy Truth     Preserve me evermore.
5	Let all who seek Thee now rejoice,     And glad in Thee abide; Let such as love salvation say,     ‘The Lord be magnified!’
	The Psalter, 1912
