Our Position before God

Psalm 51 is a psalm of David when Nathan the prophet went to him after he had gone in to Bathsheba. The feeling of guilt upon David is heavy and he wants to be free of it. In verses 16-17 he understands what God really wants from him and, by extension, all of us:
For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;
you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
