14 The Lord is my strength and my song;
    (A)he has become my salvation.
15 Glad songs of salvation
    are in the tents of the righteous:
(B)“The right hand of the Lord (C)does valiantly,
16     the right hand of the Lord exalts,
    the right hand of the Lord (D)does valiantly!”

17 (E)I shall not die, but I shall live,
    and (F)recount the deeds of the Lord.
18 The Lord has (G)disciplined me severely,
    but he has not given me over to death.

19 (H)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;
    (I)the righteous shall enter through it.
21 I thank you that (J)you have answered me
    (K)and have become my salvation.
22 (L)The stone that the builders rejected
    has become the cornerstone.[a]
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.
