Psalms 51:14-19 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

14. Save me from the guilt of bloodshed, God, the God of my salvation,and my tongue will sing of Your righteousness.

15. Lord, open my lips,and my mouth will declare Your praise.

16. You do not want a sacrifice, or I would give it;You are not pleased with a burnt offering.

17. The sacrifice pleasing to God is a broken spirit.God, You will not despise a broken and humbled heart.

18. In Your good pleasure, cause Zion to prosper;build the walls of Jerusalem.

19. Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices,whole burnt offerings;then bulls will be offered on Your altar.
