New King James Version

Psalms 51:14-19 New King James Version (NKJV)

14. Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,The God of my salvation,And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.

15. O Lord, open my lips,And my mouth shall show forth Your praise.

16. For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it;You do not delight in burnt offering.

17. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,A broken and a contrite heart—These, O God, You will not despise.

18. Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion;Build the walls of Jerusalem.

19. Then You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness,With burnt offering and whole burnt offering;Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar.
