Psalm 51:16-19 - Heartlight

¹⁶For You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;

You take no pleasure in burnt offerings.

¹⁷The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;

a broken and a contrite heart,

O God, You will not despise.

¹⁸In Your good pleasure, cause Zion to prosper;

build up the walls of Jerusalem.

¹⁹Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices,

in whole burnt offerings;

then bulls will be offered on Your altar.
