²⁴ God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.

¹⁷ Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, `there' is liberty.

¹⁷ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: A broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

³ for we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh:

⁸ This people honoreth me with their lips; But their heart is far from me.

⁹ But in vain do they worship me, Teaching `as their' doctrines the precepts of men.

¹⁵ For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

⁷ But Jehovah said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have rejected him: for `Jehovah seeth' not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but Jehovah looketh on the heart.

²³ Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifieth me; And to him that ordereth his way `aright' Will I show the salvation of God. Psalm 51 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.

¹⁷ Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, `be' honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

¹⁸ If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear:

¹² For our glorifying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.

¹³ Will I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats?

¹⁴ Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; And pay thy vows unto the Most High:

¹⁵ And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
