17 The sacrifices of God are (A)a broken spirit;
    a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

18 (B)Do good to Zion in your good pleasure;
    (C)build up the walls of Jerusalem;
19 then will you delight in (D)right sacrifices,
    in burnt offerings and (E)whole burnt offerings;
    then bulls will be offered on your altar.

    a broken and contrite heart(B)
    you, God, will not despise.

    to build up the walls of Jerusalem.(D)
19 Then you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous,(E)
    in burnt offerings(F) offered whole;
    then bulls(G) will be offered on your altar.
