New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 The Lord is my strength and my might;
he has become my salvation.(A)
15 There are glad songs of victory in the tents of the righteous:
“The right hand of the Lord does valiantly;(B)
16 the right hand of the Lord is exalted;
the right hand of the Lord does valiantly.”(C)
17 I shall not die, but I shall live
and recount the deeds of the Lord.(D)
18 The Lord has punished me severely,
but he did not give me over to death.(E)
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness,
that I may enter through them
and give thanks to the Lord.(F)
20 This is the gate of the Lord;
the righteous shall enter through it.(G)
21 I thank you that you have answered me
and have become my salvation.(H)
22 The stone that the builders rejected
has become the chief cornerstone.(I)
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.[a]

Joshua 10:16-27
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Five Kings Defeated
16 Meanwhile, these five kings fled and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.(A) 17 And it was told Joshua, “The five kings have been found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.” 18 Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to guard them, 19 but do not stay there yourselves; pursue your enemies and attack them from the rear. Do not let them enter their towns, for the Lord your God has given them into your hand.” 20 When Joshua and the Israelites had finished inflicting a very great blow on them, until they were wiped out, and when the survivors had entered into the fortified towns,(B) 21 all the people returned safe to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah; no one dared to speak[a] against any of the Israelites.(C)
22 Then Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave and bring those five kings out to me from the cave.”(D) 23 They did so and brought the five kings out to him from the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon. 24 When they brought the kings out to Joshua, Joshua summoned all the Israelites and said to the chiefs of the warriors who had gone with him, “Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings.” Then they came near and put their feet on their necks.(E) 25 And Joshua said to them, “Do not be afraid or dismayed; be strong and courageous, for thus the Lord will do to all the enemies against whom you fight.”(F) 26 Afterward Joshua struck them down and put them to death, and he hung them on five trees. And they hung on the trees until evening.(G) 27 At sunset Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees and threw them into the cave where they had hidden themselves; they set large stones against the mouth of the cave that remain to this very day.(H)

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 Your boasting is not a good thing. Do you not know that a little yeast leavens all of the dough?(A) 7 Clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch of dough, as you really are unleavened. For our paschal lamb, Christ, has been sacrificed.(B) 8 Therefore, let us celebrate the festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.(C)
