" he has discovered that the will of God is not to hate, not to torture, not to cast away from his presence, but to restore his creatures to goodness, that he may thereby restore them to usefulness.  David has discovered that God demands no sacrifice, much less self-torturing penance.  What he demands is the heart.  The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit.  A broken and a contrite heart he will not despise.  "
