    and will proclaim(B) what the Lord has done.
18 The Lord has chastened(C) me severely,
    but he has not given me over to death.(D)
19 Open for me the gates(E) of the righteous;
    I will enter(F) and give thanks to the Lord.
20 This is the gate of the Lord(G)
    through which the righteous may enter.(H)

    you have become my salvation.(J)

22 The stone(K) the builders rejected
    has become the cornerstone;(L)
23 the Lord has done this,
    and it is marvelous(M) in our eyes.
24 The Lord has done it this very day;
    let us rejoice today and be glad.(N)

17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.

18 The Lord hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.

19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord:

20 This gate of the Lord, into which the righteous shall enter.

21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

23 This is the Lord's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

24 This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
