Psalms 51:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 51:17

15 O Lord, open my lips,
And my mouth shall show forth Your praise.

16 For ^aYou do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it;
You do not delight in burnt offering.

17 ^aThe sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,
A broken and a contrite heart—
These, O God, You will not despise.

18 Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion;
Build the walls of Jerusalem.

19 Then You shall be pleased with ^athe sacrifices of righteousness,
With burnt offering and whole burnt offering;
Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar.
