17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;

A broken and contrite heart,

O God, you will not despise.

18Do good in your favor toward Zion.

Build the walls of Jerusalem.

19Then you will delight in righteous sacrifices,

burnt offering and whole burnt offering.

Then bulls will be offered on your altar.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;

a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

build up the walls of Jerusalem;

then will you delight in right sacrifices,

in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings;

then bulls will be offered on your altar.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit;

a broken and contrite heart

you, God, will not despise.

May it please you to prosper Zion,

to build up the walls of Jerusalem.

Then you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous,

in burnt offerings offered whole;

then bulls will be offered on your altar.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

The sacrifice pleasing to God is a broken spirit.

In your good pleasure, cause Zion to prosper;

build the walls of Jerusalem.

Then you will delight in righteous sacrifices,

whole burnt offerings;

then bulls will be offered on your altar.

NLTNew Living Translation

The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit.

You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God.

Look with favor on Zion and help her;

rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

Then you will be pleased with sacrifices offered in the right spirit—

with burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings.

Then bulls will again be sacrificed on your altar.

KJV 1900King James Version

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit:

A broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering:

Then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
