Psalm 51:14–17

14 Save me from the guilt of bloodshed, Gode—

God of my salvation—

and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.f

15 Lord, open my lips,

and my mouth will declare your praise.g

16 You do not want a sacrifice, or I would give it;

you are not pleased with a burnt offering.h

17 The sacrifice pleasing to God isC a broken spirit.

You will not despise a broken and humbled heart, God.i
