Old Testament

New Testament

Psalm 51:16-18 New International Version (NIV)

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 heart you, God, will not despise.

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