Psalm 51:14-16

Common English Bible

¹⁴ Deliver me from violence, God, God of my salvation,
    so that my tongue can sing of your righteousness.
¹⁵ Lord, open my lips,
    and my mouth will proclaim your praise.
¹⁶ You don’t want sacrifices.
    If I gave an entirely burned offering,
    you wouldn’t be pleased.
