“Seeing that thou hatest instruction, And castest my words behind thee? ”
“since you hate instruction, and throw my words behind you?”
“For you hate instruction and reject my words.”
“O Lord, thou wilt open my lips: and my mouth shall declare thy praise.”
“Seeing that you have no desire for my teaching, turning your back on my words.”
“Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.”
Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and confirm me with an unsurpassed spirit.
I will teach the unjust your ways, and the impious will be converted to you.
Free me from blood, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue will extol your justice.
O Lord, you will open my lips, and my mouth will announce your praise.
For if you had desired sacrifice, I would certainly have given it, but with holocausts, you will not be delighted.
A crushed spirit is a sacrifice to God. A contrite and humbled heart, O God, you will not spurn.
Act kindly, Lord, in your good will toward Zion, so that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.
