14 (A)The Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.

15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation
Is in the tents of the righteous;
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
16 (B)The right hand of the Lord is exalted;
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
17 (C)I shall not die, but live,
And (D)declare the works of the Lord.
18 The Lord has (E)chastened[a] me severely,
But He has not given me over to death.

19 (F)Open to me the gates of righteousness;
I will go through them,
And I will praise the Lord.
20 (G)This is the gate of the Lord,
(H)Through which the righteous shall enter.

21 I will praise You,
For You have (I)answered me,
And have become my salvation.

22 (J)The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
23 [b]This was the Lord’s doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
