Psalm 51:16-17
English Standard Version
16 (A)For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;
you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are (B)a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
Psalm 50:8-17
English Standard Version
8 Not for your sacrifices (A)do I rebuke you;
your burnt offerings are continually before me.
9 I will not accept a bull from your house
or goats from your folds.
10 For every beast of the forest is mine,
the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 (B)I know all the birds of the hills,
and all that moves in the field is mine.
12 “If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
(C)for the world and its fullness are mine.
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?
14 (D)Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving,[a]
and (E)perform your vows to the Most High,
15 and (F)call upon me in the day of trouble;
I will (G)deliver you, and you shall (H)glorify me.”
16 But to the wicked God says:
“What right have you to recite my statutes
or take my covenant on your lips?
17 (I)For you hate discipline,
(J)and you cast my words behind you.
