I shall teach transgressors Thy ways, and the ungodly shall turn
back unto Thee.

Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, Thou God of my
salvation; my tongue shall rejoice in Thy righteousness.

O Lord, Thou shalt open my lips, and my mouth shall declare Thy
praise.

For if Thou hadst desired sacrifice, I had given it; with whole-burnt
offerings Thou shalt not be pleased.

A sacrifice unto God is a broken spirit; a heart that is broken and
humbled God will not despise.

Do good, O Lord, in Thy good pleasure unto Sion, and let the
walls of Jerusalem be builded.

Then shalt Thou be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, with
oblation and whole-burnt offerings.

Then shall they offer bullocks upon Thine altar.
PSALM 101
O Lord, hear my prayer, and let my cry come unto Thee.

Turn not Thy face away from me; in the day when I am afflicted,
incline Thine ear unto me.

In the day when I call upon Thee, quickly hearken unto me.

For my days are vanished like smoke, and my bones consumed
like wood for the burning.
