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.
18 In thy good pleasure, Lord, do good To Sion and thy people all; Of thy belov'd Jerusalem Do thou build up the broken wall.
19 The sacrifice of righteousness Shall then be pleasing unto thee; Better than whole burnt-offerings then Shall on thine Altar offered be.
