Psalm 118:19–29
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness,
that I may enter through them
and give thanks to Yahweh.
20 This is the gate of Yahweh;
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 cornerstone.
23 This is Yahweh’s doing;
it is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day that Yahweh has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Save us, we pray, O Yahweh!
O Yahweh, we pray, give us success!
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of Yahweh!
We bless you from the house of Yahweh.
27 Yahweh is God,
and he has made his light to shine upon us.
Bind the festal sacrifice with cords,
up to the horns of the altar!
28 You are my God, and I will give thanks to you;
you are my God; I will extol you.
29 Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever!
