Psalms 51:14-19

14Save me from 1the guilt of bloodshed, God, 2the God of my salvation; Then my 3tongue will joyfully sing of Your righteousness.15Lord, 45open my lips, So that my mouth may 6declare Your praise.16For You 7do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it; You do not take pleasure in burnt offering.17The sacrifices of God are a 8broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, God, You will not despise.

189By Your favor do good to Zion; 1011Build the walls of Jerusalem.19Then You will delight in 1213righteous sacrifices, In 14burnt offering and whole burnt offering; Then 15bulls will be offered on Your altar.
