Psalm 51:17-19

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁷The sacrifice acceptable to God^[a] is a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

¹⁸Do good to Zion in your good pleasure;
    rebuild the walls of Jerusalem,
¹⁹then you will delight in right sacrifices,
    in burnt-offerings and whole burnt-offerings;
    then bulls will be offered on your altar.
