Psalm 118:18-20

Expanded Bible

¹⁸The Lord has ·taught me a hard lesson [^Lsurely disciplined/instructed me],
but he did not ·let me die [^Lgive me over to death].

¹⁹Open for me the ·Temple gates [^Lgates of righteousness].
Then I will come in and ·thank [praise] the Lord.
²⁰This is the Lord’s gate;
only ·those who are good [the righteous] may enter through it [15; 24:3–6].
