Responsorial Psalm 39(40):7-11 for the Annunciation of the Lord

Here I am, Lord! I come to do Your will.

You do not ask for sacrifice and offerings,
but an open ear.
You do not ask for holocaust and victim.
Instead, here am I.

Here I am, Lord! I come to do Your will.

In the scroll of the book it stands written
that I should do Your will.
My God, I delight in Your law
in the depth of my heart.

Here I am, Lord! I come to do Your will.

Your justice I have proclaimed
in the great assembly.
My lips I have not sealed;
You know it, O Lord.

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

I have not hidden Your justice in my heart
but declared Your faithful help.
I have not hidden Your love and Your truth
from the great assembly.

Here I am, Lord! I come to do Your will.
