Midras Mazmur 40:7: Midrash Tehillim

זֶ֤בַח וּמִנְחָ֨ה ׀ לֹֽא־חָפַ֗צְתָּ אָ֭זְנַיִם כָּרִ֣יתָ לִּ֑י עוֹלָ֥ה וַ֝חֲטָאָ֗ה לֹ֣א שָׁאָֽלְתָּ׃

Kurban sembelihan dan persembahan sajian tidak Engkau kehendaki; telinga telah Engkau bukakan bagiku; kurban bakaran dan kurban penghapus dosa tidak Engkau tuntut.

Midrash Tehillim

"My voice, my supplication." The assembly of Israel said before the Almighty, "Even though all the nations of the world call out to You, silence them and hear my prayer. Therefore, hear my voice of supplication." And so the Almighty did, for He inclined His ear to me. The ears of heaven are not deaf, but only to hear my prayer, as it is said, "You have given me ears to hear" (Psalms 40:7). And it is written, "Incline Your ear to me" (Psalms 17:6).
