Psalm 40, 7-9--God prefers obedience to pious, empty sacrifice and liturgical lip service: "Sacrifice or oblation you wished not, but ears open to obedience you gave me. Holocausts or sin-offerings you sought not; then I said, 'Behold I come; 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.'"
