R. Here am I, Lord, I come to do your will.

Sacrifice or offering you wished not, but ears open to obedience you gave me.Holocausts or sin-offerings you sought not; then said I, "Behold I come."

R. Here am I, Lord, I come to do your will.

"In the written scroll it is prescribed for me,to do your will, O my God, is my delight, and your law is within my heart!"

R. Here am I, Lord, I come to do your will.

I announced your justice in the vast assembly; I did not restrain my lips, as you, O LORD, know.

R. Here am I, Lord, I come to do your will.
