Psalm 51:17-19
Living Bible
17 It is a broken spirit you want—remorse and penitence. A broken and a contrite heart, O God, you will not ignore.
18 And Lord, don’t punish Israel for my sins—help your people and protect Jerusalem.[a]
19 And when my heart is right,[b] then you will rejoice in the good that I do and in the bullocks I bring to sacrifice upon your altar.
