Psalm 51:17

Create In Me A Clean Heart, O God

¹⁶ For thou wilt not desire sacrifice - that I should give it, Ascending-offering, will not please: ¹⁷ The sacrifices of God, are a spirit that is broken, - A heart - broken and crushed, O God, thou wilt not despise. ¹⁸ Do good, in thy good-pleasure, unto Zion, Wilt thou build the walls of Jerusalem!
