Psalm 51:18

Create In Me A Clean Heart, O God

¹⁷
My [only] sacrifice [acceptable] to God is a broken spirit;
A broken and contrite heart [broken with sorrow for sin, thoroughly penitent], such, O God, You will not despise. ¹⁸ 
By Your favor do good to Zion;
May You rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
¹⁹
Then will You delight in the sacrifices of righteousness,
In burnt offering and whole burnt offering;
Then young bulls will be offered on Your altar.
