Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; And sinners shall be converted unto Thee

13. Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; And sinners shall be converted unto Thee.

14. Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, Thou God of

my salvation; And my tongue shall sing aloud of Thy righteousness.

15. O Lord, open Thou my lips;

And my mouth shall show forth Thy praise.

16. For thou delightest not in sacrifice, else would I give it; Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.

17. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit:

A broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.

18. Do good in Thy good pleasure unto Zion: Build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.

Then shalt Thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering; Then shall they offer bullocks upon Thine altar ‘Then will I teach TJiy icays unto

those that transgressors be;
And those that sinners are shall then

be turned unto Thee.

0 God, of my saltation God,

Set free; then shall my tongue aloud

sing of Thy righteousness.

My closed lips. 0 Lord, by Thee

let them be opened;
Then shall Thy praises by my mouth

abroad be published.

For Ihou desirst not sacrifice

else would I give it Thee:
Nor wilt Thou with burnt-offering

at all delighted be.

A broken spirit is to God

a pleasing sacrifice:
A broken and a contrite heart,

Lord, Thou wilt not despise.

Show kindness, and do good, 0 Lord,

to Sio n, Th ine own h ill:
The walls of Thy Jerusalem

build up of Thy good will.

Then righteous of rings shall Thee please,

and off rings burnt, which they With whole burnt off rings, and with calces,

shall on Thine altar lay.’
