Psalms 51:13-19 Modern English Version (MEV)

13. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,and sinners will return to You.

14. Deliver me from blood guiltiness, O God,God of my salvation,and my tongue will sing aloud of Your righteousness.

15. O Lord, open my lips,and my mouth will declare Your praise.

16. For You do not desire sacrifice, or I would give it;You do not delight in burnt offering.

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

18. Do good to Zion in Your good pleasure;build the walls of Jerusalem.

19. Then You will be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness,with burnt offering and whole burnt offering;then they will offer young bulls on Your altar.
