Psalms 51:14-17 Common English Bible (CEB)

14. Deliver me from violence, God, God of my salvation,so that my tongue can sing of your righteousness.

15. Lord, open my lips,and my mouth will proclaim your praise.

16. You don’t want sacrifices.If I gave an entirely burned offering,you wouldn’t be pleased.

17. A broken spirit is my sacrifice, God.You won’t despise a heart, God, that is broken and crushed.
