Psalms 118:15-29

¶The sound of joyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: The right hand of the LORD does valiantly. The right hand of the LORD is exalted; The right hand of the LORD does valiantly. I will not die, but live, And declare the works and recount the illustrious acts of the LORD. The LORD has disciplined me severely, But He has not given me over to death. [2 Cor 6:9] ¶Open to me the [temple] gates of righteousness; I shall enter through them, I shall give thanks to the LORD. This is the gate of the LORD; The righteous will enter through it. [Ps 24:7] I will give thanks to You, for You have heard and answered me; And You have become my salvation [my Rescuer, my Savior]. ¶The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief corner stone. This is from the LORD and is His doing; It is marvelous in our eyes. [Matt 21:42; Acts 4:11; 1 Pet 2:7] This [day in which God has saved me] is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. O LORD, save now, we beseech You; O LORD, we beseech You, send now prosperity and give us success! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD; We have blessed you from the house of the LORD [you who come into His sanctuary under His guardianship]. [Mark 11:9, 10] The LORD is God, and He has given us light [illuminating us with His grace and freedom and joy]. Bind the festival sacrifices with cords to the horns of the altar. You are my God, and I give thanks to You; [You are] my God, I extol You. O give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His lovingkindness endures forever.
