Bible verse
I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; behold, I do not seal my lips, as You, O LORD, do know.
Psalm 40:9 · BSB
The verses around it, from Psalm 40.
5 Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done, and the plans You have for us—none can compare to You—if I proclaim and declare them, they are more than I can count.
6 Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but my ears You have opened. Burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not require.
7 Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—it is written about me in the scroll:
8 I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.”
9 I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; behold, I do not seal my lips, as You, O LORD, do know.
10 I have not covered up Your righteousness in my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and salvation; I have not concealed Your loving devotion and faithfulness from the great assembly.
11 O LORD, do not withhold Your mercy from me; Your loving devotion and faithfulness will always guard me.
12 For evils without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed within me.
13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; hurry, O LORD, to help me.
