Psalm 51:8,12,14-17

⁸Let me hear joy and gladness;

let the bones You have crushed rejoice.

...

¹²Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,

and sustain me with a willing spirit.

...

¹⁴Deliver me from bloodguilt, O God,

the God of my salvation,

and my tongue will sing of Your righteousness.

¹⁵O Lord, open my lips,

and my mouth will declare Your praise.

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.
