17 The sacrifice God wants is a broken spirit.
    God, you will not reject a heart that is broken and sorry for sin.

18 Do whatever good you wish for Jerusalem.
    Rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then you will be pleased with right sacrifices and whole burnt offerings,
    and bulls will be offered on your altar.

17 My sacrifice,(A) O God, is[a] a broken spirit;
    a broken and contrite heart(B)
    you, God, will not despise.

18 May it please you to prosper Zion,(C)
    to build up the walls of Jerusalem.(D)
19 Then you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous,(E)
    in burnt offerings(F) offered whole;
    then bulls(G) will be offered on your altar.
