New Catholic Bible

16 Deliver me from bloodguilt,[a] O God,
    the God of my salvation,
    and I will proclaim your righteousness.
17 O Lord, open my lips,
    and my mouth will proclaim your praise.
18 For you take no delight in sacrifice;
    if I were to make a burnt offering,
    you would refuse to accept it.[b]
