Psalm 51:16-18
EasyEnglish Bible

16 I would be happy to offer sacrifices to you,
    but that is not what you really want.
You do not want a burnt offering from me.
17 You want me to be humble and sorry.
    That is the sacrifice that you want.
When people are humble
    and they turn away from their sins,
    you will not refuse them.

18 God, please be kind and help Zion.
    Make the walls of Jerusalem strong again.

16 You do not delight in sacrifice,(A) or I would bring it;

17 My sacrifice,(B) O God, is[a] a broken spirit;
    a broken and contrite heart(C)
    you, God, will not despise.

18 May it please you to prosper Zion,(D)
    to build up the walls of Jerusalem.(E)
