Context Reading
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. 19Then you will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness,in burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings.Then they will offer bulls on your altar.
