Psalm 51:17

Create In Me A Clean Heart, O God

¹⁶ For you don't delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it. You have no pleasure in burnt offering. ¹⁷ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. ¹⁸ Do well in your good pleasure to Zion. Build the walls of Jerusalem.
