King James Version with Apocrypha
"For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering."
— Psalms 51:16, King James Version with Apocrypha
“For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.”
“For thou delightest not in sacrifice; else would I give it: Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering. ”
“For you don't delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it. You have no pleasure in burnt offering.”
“Certainly you do not want a sacrifice, or else I would offer it; you do not desire a burnt sacrifice.”
“You have no desire for an offering or I would give it; you have no delight in burned offerings.”
Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
