Psalm 51:13-17

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹³ I will teach rebels your ways,
and sinners will turn to you.
¹⁴ Deliver me from bloodshed, O God,
    the God who saves me.
My tongue will shout for joy about your righteousness.
¹⁵ Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
¹⁶ For you do not delight in sacrifice,
or I would give it.
You do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
¹⁷ The sacrifices God wants are a broken spirit.
A broken and crushed heart, O God, you will not despise.
