Psalms 51:17
Compare all
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.
