Psalm 51:16-18
The Voice

16 I would surrender my dearest possessions or destroy all that I prize to prove my regret,
    but You don’t take pleasure in sacrifices or burnt offerings.
17 What sacrifice I can offer You is my broken spirit
    because a broken spirit, O God,
    a heart that honestly regrets the past,
You won’t detest.

18 Be good to Zion; grant her Your favor.
    Make Jerusalem’s walls steady and strong.
