Psalm 51:15-19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
15 O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare your praise.(A)
16 For you have no delight in sacrifice;
if I were to give a burnt offering, you would not be pleased.(B)
17 The sacrifice acceptable to God[a] is a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.(C)
18 Do good to Zion in your good pleasure;
rebuild the walls of Jerusalem;(D)
19 then you will delight in right sacrifices,
in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings;
then bulls will be offered on your altar.(E)
