Psalms 51:16 Context
14Deliuer mee from blood-guiltinesse, O God, thou God of my saluation: and my tongue shall sing alowd of thy righteousnesse. 15O Lord open thou my lips, and my mouth shall shew foorth thy praise. 16For thou desirest not sacrifice: else would I giue it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. 17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 18Doe good in thy good pleasure vnto Sion: build thou the walles of Ierusalem.
