13 Ref Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
14 Ref Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
15 Ref O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
16 Ref For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
17 Ref The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
18 Ref Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Ref Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
