Psalms 40:6-8

MSG

NIV

6 Doing something for you, bringing something to you - that's not what you're after. Being religious, acting pious - that's not what you're asking for. You've opened my ears so I can listen.
6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire— but my ears you have opened — burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.
7 So I answered, "I'm coming. I read in your letter what you wrote about me,
7 Then I said, “Here I am, I have come— it is written about me in the scroll.
8 And I'm coming to the party you're throwing for me." That's when God's Word entered my life, became part of my very being.
8 I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart.”
