Psalms 51:12-17

¹²Give me back the joy of your salvation; let a free spirit be my support.

¹³Then will I make your ways clear to wrongdoers; and sinners will be turned to you.

¹⁴Be my saviour from violent death, O God, the God of my salvation; and my tongue will give praise to your righteousness.

¹⁵O Lord, let my lips be open, so that my mouth may make clear your praise.

¹⁶You have no desire for an offering or I would give it; you have no delight in burned offerings.

¹⁷The offerings of God are a broken spirit; a broken and sorrowing heart, O God, you will not put from you.
