Psalm 51:17-19

Create in Me a Clean Heart, O God

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

¹⁸ _y Do good to Zion in your good pleasure;
_z build up the walls of Jerusalem;
¹⁹ then will you delight in _a right sacrifices,
in burnt offerings and _b whole burnt offerings;
then bulls will be offered on your altar.
