Psalm 51:14-17 Deliver me from the guilt of shedding blood, O God, O God of my salvation, and my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness. (15) O Jehovah, open my lips, and my mouth shall show forth Your praise. (16) For You do not desire sacrifice; or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering.
