Mystery Psalm?

[KephasAugustine]

I have seen this psalm in a couple of places recently:

“To do thy will, O my God, is all my desire; to carry out that law of thine which is written in my heart.”

In both places it has been cited as Psalm 39:9, but when I cross-referenced it in an actual Bible, Psalm 39:9 is "“I have become mute, I do not open my mouth, Because it is You who have done it.”

To questions.

1. What is the actual citation for the first quote?
2. Why do different people seem to think it is Psalm 39:9?

Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Check Psalm 40 in your Bible. There are two numberings of the Psalms: Masoretic Hebrew and Greek Septuagint.

Sometimes you will see psalms listed as one number with another in parentheses, the first is Hebrew and the second is Greek numbering.
