Psalm 51:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁷You 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.

¹⁸God, please be kind and help Zion.
    Make the walls of Jerusalem strong again.
¹⁹Then you will accept our proper sacrifices.
Our burnt offerings and sacrifices of whole animals
    will make you happy.
Once again, people will offer bulls to you,
    on your altar.^[a]
