Psalms 51:18

Read in context

Psalms 51:16–19 · Berean Standard Bible

16 For You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; You take no pleasure in burnt offerings.

17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.

18 In Your good pleasure, cause Zion to prosper; build up the walls of Jerusalem.

19 Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices, in whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on Your altar.
