17. Lord, you will open my lips;and my mouth will proclaim your praise.
18. For you do not desire sacrifice or I would give it;a burnt offering you would not accept.
19. My sacrifice, O God, is a contrite spirit;a contrite, humbled heart, O God, you will not scorn.
20. Treat Zion kindly according to your good will;build up the walls of Jerusalem.
21. Then you will desire the sacrifices of the just,burnt offering and whole offerings;then they will offer up young bulls on your altar.
