87.4 My Sacrifice Is A Contrite Spirit

(Psalm 51:16-19)

You do not want sacrifices, or I would offer them;
You are not pleased with burnt offerings.
My sacrifice is a humble spirit, O God;
you will not reject a humble and repentant heart.

O God, be kind to Zion and help her;
rebuild the wall of Jerusalem.
Then you will be pleased with proper sacrifices
and with our burnt offerings;
and bulls will be sacrificed on your altar.
