Psalms 51:16-19

16For You do not delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it; You are not pleased with burnt offering.

17My [only] sacrifice [acceptable] to God is a broken spirit; A broken and contrite heart [broken with sorrow for sin, thoroughly penitent], such, O God, You will not despise.

18By Your favor do good to Zion; May You rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

19Then will You delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, In burnt offering and whole burnt offering; Then young bulls will be offered on Your altar.
