14 Spare my life, O God, and save me,and I will gladly proclaim your righteousness.
15 Help me to speak, Lord,and I will praise you.
16 You do not want sacrifices,or I would offer them;you are not pleased with burnt offerings.
17 My sacrifice is a humble spirit, O God;you will not reject a humble and repentant heart.
18 O God, be kind to Zion and help her;rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then you will be pleased with proper sacrificesand with our burnt offerings;and bulls will be sacrificed on your altar.
