19 Then shalt thou have sacrifices of righteousness, burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering; then shall they offer up bullocks upon thine altar.

17 My sacrifice,(A) O God, is[a] a broken spirit;
    a broken and contrite heart(B)
    you, God, will not despise.

18 May it please you to prosper Zion,(C)
    to build up the walls of Jerusalem.(D)
19 Then you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous,(E)
    in burnt offerings(F) offered whole;
    then bulls(G) will be offered on your altar.
