AT: "Lord, make me able to speak, and I will praise you" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche)

This means that God wants something more important than these things. AT: "A sacrifice is not enough to please you ... you want something more than burn offerings" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
