Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

Verse 6 is found in chapter 40 of Psalms. Psalm 40 begins with a testimony of waiting and deliverance: God brought the psalmist out of a pit and established his steps. The response consists not merely in offering sacrifices, but in recognizing that God desires inward obedience expressed through hearing and doing his will. Then the plea for help appears again, showing that past deliverance does not eliminate present need. Praise and dependence remain together.

HERR, mein Gott, groß sind deine Wunder und deine Gedanken, die du an uns beweisest. Dir ist nichts gleich. Ich will sie verkündigen und davon sagen; aber sie sind nicht zu zählen.
Sacrificio y presente no te agrada; Has abierto mis oídos; Holocausto y expiación no has demandado.
No has deseado sacrificios ni ofrendas; me has abierto los oídos. No has pedido holocaustos ni ofrendas por el pecado.
Tu ne désires ni sacrifice ni offrande, Tu m'as ouvert les oreilles; Tu ne demandes ni holocauste ni victime expiatoire.
Tu non prendi piacere in sacrificio, nè in offerta; Tu mi hai forate le orecchie; Tu non hai chiesto, olocausto, nè sacrificio per lo peccato.
Sacrifício e oferta não quiseste; os meus ouvidos abriste; holocausto e expiação pelo pecado não reclamaste.
祭物和禮物,你不喜愛, 你已經開通我的耳朵; 燔祭和贖罪祭非你所要。
