Psalm 51:16-18

International Standard Version

¹⁶ Indeed, you do not delight in sacrifices,
    or I would give them,
        nor do you desire burnt offerings.
¹⁷ True sacrifice to God^[a] is a broken spirit.
    A broken and chastened heart, God,
        you will not despise.

¹⁸ Show favor to Zion in your good pleasure;
    and rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
