³¹ And it will please Jehovah better than an ox, `Or' a bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

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:

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.

² Take with you words, and return unto Jehovah: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and accept that which is good: so will we render `as' bullocks `the offering of' our lips.

¹⁹ speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;

²⁰ giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;

¹⁵ Through him then let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which make confession to his name.

⁵ ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
