Psalm 51:15-17

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁵ My Lord, help me to speak,
    and then I will praise you.
¹⁶ I would be happy to offer sacrifices to you,
    but that is not what you really want.
You do not want a burnt offering from me.
¹⁷ You want me to be humble and sorry.
    That is the sacrifice that you want.
When people are humble
    and they turn away from their sins,
    you will not refuse them.
