Psalms 51:12-17 New Century Version (NCV)

12. Give me back the joy of your salvation.Keep me strong by giving me a willing spirit.

13. Then I will teach your ways to those who do wrong,and sinners will turn back to you.

14. God, save me from the guilt of murder,God of my salvation,and I will sing about your goodness.

15. Lord, let me speakso I may praise you.

16. You are not pleased by sacrifices, or I would give them.You don’t want burnt offerings.

17. The sacrifice God wants is a broken spirit.God, you will not reject a heart that is broken and sorry for sin.
