Psalm 118:17–29

¹⁷I ^awill not die, but live,

And ^btell of the works of ¹the Lord.

¹⁸¹The Lord has ^adisciplined me severely,

But He has ^bnot given me over to death.

^19aOpen to me the gates of righteousness;

I shall enter through them, I shall give thanks to ¹the Lord.

²⁰This is the gate of the Lord;

The ^arighteous will enter through it.

²¹I shall give thanks to You, for You have ^aanswered me,

And You have ^bbecome my salvation.

²²The ^astone which the builders rejected

Has become the chief corner stone.

²³This is ¹the Lord’s doing;

It is marvelous in our eyes.

²⁴This is the day which the Lord has made;

Let us ^arejoice and be glad in it.

²⁵O Lord, ^ado save, we beseech You;

O Lord, we beseech You, do send ^bprosperity!

^26aBlessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord;

We have ^bblessed you from the house of the Lord.

^27aThe Lord is God, and He has given us ^blight;

Bind the festival sacrifice with cords ¹to the ^chorns of the altar.

^28aYou are my God, and I give thanks to You;

You are my God, ^bI extol You.

^29aGive thanks to the Lord, for He is good;

For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
