| The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 3 Every morning you'll hear me at it again. Every morning I lay out the pieces of my life on your altar and watch for fire to descend. | 3 In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. |
