HERE I AM TO WORSHIP

Spiritual Renewal Series (5/6)Psalm 51

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. (17) The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.
