Psalm 51

¹⁵ O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare Your praise.

¹⁶ For You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; You take no pleasure in burnt offerings.

¹⁷ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.

¹⁸ In Your good pleasure, cause Zion to prosper; build up the walls of Jerusalem.

¹⁹ Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices, in whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on Your altar.
