Psalm 118:19–29

19 Open to me the gates of righteousness,

that I may enter through them

and give thanks to the Lord.*

20 This is the gate of the Lord;

the righteous shall enter through it.*

21 I thank you that you have answered me

and have become my salvation.*

22 The stone that the builders rejected

has become the chief cornerstone.*

23 This is the Lord’s doing;

it is marvelous in our eyes.

24 This is the day that the Lord has made;

let us rejoice and be glad in it.h

25 Save us, we beseech you, O Lord!

O Lord, we beseech you, give us success!

26 Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.i

We bless you from the house of the Lord.*

27 The Lord is God,

and he has given us light.

Bind the festal procession with branches,

up to the horns of the altar.j,*

28 You are my God, and I will give thanks to you;

you are my God; I will extol you.*

29 O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,

for his steadfast love endures forever.*
