17O Lord, thou shalt open my lips; and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
18For if thou desiredst sacrifice, I would have given it: thou wilt not take pleasure in whole-burnt-offerings.
19Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit: a broken and humbled heart God will not despise.
20Do good, O Lord, to Sion in thy good pleasure; and let the walls of Jerusalem be built.
21Then shalt thou be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, offering, and whole-burnt-sacrifices: then shall they offer calves upon thine altar.
