Psalms 51:16 in Context — Psalms 51
14 Livra-me das [transgressões] por derramamento de sangue, ó Deus, Deus de minha salvação; e minha língua louvará alegremente tua justiça.
15 Abre, Senhor, os meus lábios, e minha boca anunciará louvor a ti.
16 Porque tu não te agradas de sacrifícios, pois senão eu te daria; tu não te alegras de holocaustos.
17 Os sacrifícios a Deus são um espírito quebrado [em arrependimento] ; tu não desprezarás um coração quebrado e triste.
18 Faze bem a Sião conforme tua boa vontade; edifica os muros de Jerusalém.
