New Testament

Psalm 51:14-19 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

14. Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,you who are God my Saviour,and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.

15. Open my lips, Lord,and my mouth will declare your praise.

16. You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.

17. My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit;a broken and contrite heartyou, God, will not despise.

18. May it please you to prosper Zion,to build up the walls of Jerusalem.

19. Then you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous,in burnt offerings offered whole;then bulls will be offered on your altar.
