Lord, Thou shall open my lips: and my mouth will declare Thy Praise. if Thou desired sacrifice, I would give it: Thou will not be pleased with Whole Burnt Offerings. sacrifice to God is a broken spirit a broken and humbled heart God will not despise. Good, O Lord in Thy Good Pleasure to Zion, and let the walls of Jerusalem be built. Thou will be pleased with a Sacrifice of Righteousness with Offerings and Whole Burnt Offerings then shalt they offer young bullocks on Thine Altar.
