Psalm 51:16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ You don’t want sacrifices.
    If I gave an entirely burned offering,
    you wouldn’t be pleased.
¹⁷ A broken spirit is my sacrifice, God.^[a]
    You won’t despise a heart, God, that is broken and crushed.
¹⁸ Do good things for Zion by your favor.
    Rebuild Jerusalem’s walls.
