Psalms 51:17-19

Psalms 51:17-19. A broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar. There must be great sacrifices of joy when great sin is put away by a great ransom: "Then shall they offer bullocks " - not lambs, but bullocks,-"upon thine altar." God help each of us henceforth to offer bullocks upon his altar, not the poor little things, such as we have previously brought; but some great consecrated offering let us bring unto the God who hath forgiven all our transgressions, and blotted out all our iniquities.
