Psalms 51:16

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Psalms 51:16. For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.

Here we have what God does desire, and what he does not. If you turn to the sixth verse, you will see what he does desire. "Thou desirest truth in the inward parts." Now here he does not desire the mere outward and external worship rendered by sacrifice. It was not the type alone that satisfied him.
