15. O Lord, open my lips,and my mouth will declare your praise.
16. For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.
17. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
18. Do good to Zion in your good pleasure; build up the walls of Jerusalem;
19. then will you delight in right sacrifices,in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings;then bulls will be offered on your altar.
