Psalms 51:17 in Context — Psalms 51
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.
17 Seigneur! Ouvre mes lèvres, Et ma bouche publiera ta louange.
18 Si tu eusses voulu des sacrifices, je t’en aurais offert; Mais tu ne prends point plaisir aux holocaustes.
19 Les sacrifices qui sont agréables à Dieu, c’est un esprit brisé: O Dieu! Tu ne dédaignes pas un cœur brisé et contrit.
