Psalm 118:14–24

14 The Lord is my strength and my might;

he has become my salvation.*

15 There are glad songs of victory in the tents of the righteous:

“The right hand of the Lord does valiantly;*

16 the right hand of the Lord is exalted;

the right hand of the Lord does valiantly.”*

17 I shall not die, but I shall live

and recount the deeds of the Lord.*

18 The Lord has punished me severely,

but he did not give me over to death.*

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
