Psalm 51:15-17

Common English Bible

¹⁵ Lord, open my lips,
    and my mouth will proclaim your praise.
¹⁶ You don’t want sacrifices.
    If I gave an entirely burned offering,
    you wouldn’t be pleased.
¹⁷ A broken spirit is my sacrifice, God.^[a]
    You won’t despise a heart, God, that is broken and crushed.
