15. O Lord, open my lips; and my mouth shall show forth thy praise.
16. For thou dost not desire sacrifice or else would I give it; thou dost not delight in burnt offering.
17. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
18. Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion; build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
19. Then thou shalt be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, the burnt offering, the offering that has been totally consumed by the fire; then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
