Psalms 51:14-19

14DeliverH5337 me from bloodguiltinessH1818, O GodH430, thou GodH430 of my salvationH8668: and my tongueH3956 shall sing aloudH7442 of thy righteousnessH6666.1

15O LordH136, openH6605 thou my lipsH8193; and my mouthH6310 shall shew forthH5046 thy praiseH8416.

16For thou desirestH2654 not sacrificeH2077; else would I giveH5414 it: thou delightestH7521 not in burnt offeringH5930.2

17The sacrificesH2077 of GodH430 are a brokenH7665 spiritH7307: a brokenH7665 and a contriteH1794 heartH3820, O GodH430, thou wilt not despiseH959.

18Do goodH3190 in thy good pleasureH7522 unto ZionH6726: buildH1129 thou the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389.

19Then shalt thou be pleasedH2654 with the sacrificesH2077 of righteousnessH6664, with burnt offeringH5930 and wholeH3632 burnt offeringH5930: then shall they offerH5927 bullocksH6499 upon thine altarH4196.
