15 Open my lips, which by my sin Now silenced and closed are; And then shall my enlarged mouth Thy praises publicly declare.
15 Open my lips, which by my sin Now silenced and closed are; And then shall my enlarged mouth Thy praises publickly declare.
16 I know it is not sacrifice Which thou requirest I should bring, Else would I give it: Nor art thou Delighted with burnt-offering.
17 The sacrifice which pleaseth God, Is a repenting broken spirit; ⟨p. 84⟩O God, thou never wilt despise A heart that's broken and contrite.
18 In thy good pleasure, Lord, do good To Zion and thy people all; Of thy beloved Jerusalem Do thou build up the broken wall.
