← Psalms 51:17	Psalms 51:18 (KJV)	Psalms 51:19 →
The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.	Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.	Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
