Psalms 19:14

³⁴Let my meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in the LORD.

¹⁵Lord, open my lips. My mouth will declare your praise.

¹⁰⁸Accept, I beg you, the willing offerings of my mouth. LORD, teach me your ordinances.

⁵You also as living stones are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

¹⁸If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened. ¹⁹But most certainly, God has listened. He has heard the voice of my prayer. ²⁰Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his loving kindness from me.

⁸The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

¹I love you, LORD, my strength. ²The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

¹⁴who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

¹Give ear to my words, LORD. Consider my meditation. ²Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for I pray to you.

⁴By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had testimony given to him that he was righteous, God testifying with respect to his gifts; and through it he, being dead, still speaks.
