14 Rends-moi la joie de ton salut, Et qu’un esprit de bonne volonté me soutienne!
15 J’enseignerai tes voies à ceux qui les transgressent, Et les pécheurs reviendront à toi.
16 O Dieu, Dieu de mon salut! Délivre-moi du sang versé, Et ma langue célébrera ta miséricorde.

18 Si tu eusses voulu des sacrifices, je t’en aurais offert; Mais tu ne prends point plaisir aux holocaustes.
