Psalm 40

Psalm 40:6-8 is quoted in Hebrews 10:5-7 and applied to Jesus of Nazareth.


5 Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:


"Sacrifice and offering You did not desire,
But a body You have prepared for Me. 
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin
You had no pleasure. 
7 Then I said, 'Behold, I have come — 
In the volume of the book it is written of Me — 
To do Your will, O God.'"  


8 Previously saying, "Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them"(which are offered according to the law), 9 then He said, "Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God." He takes away the first that He may establish the second. 10 By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
