Psalms 51:17 Context
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. 19Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousnesse, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullockes vpon thine altar.
