Psalms 51:10-19 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

10. Create a clean heart for me, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

11. Do not cast me away from your presence, and do not take your Holy Spirit from me.

12. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and with a willing spirit sustain me.

13. Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will turn back to you.

14. Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, the God of my salvation; then my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.

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

16. For you do not delight in sacrifice or I would give it. With a burnt offering you are not pleased.

17. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

18. Do good in your favor toward Zion. Build the walls of Jerusalem.

19. Then you will delight in righteous sacrifices, burnt offering and whole burnt offering. Then bulls will be offered on your altar.
