Context Reading
14Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, the God of my salvation.My tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness. 15Lord, open my lips.My mouth will declare your praise. 16For you don’t delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it.You have no pleasure in burnt offering. 17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit.O God, you will not despise a broken and contrite heart. 18Do well in your good pleasure to Zion.Build the walls of Jerusalem.
