Psalms 51:17 in Context — Psalms 51

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.

19 Então tu te agradarás dos sacrifícios de justiça, dos holocaustos, e das ofertas queimadas; então oferecerão bezerros sobre teu altar.
