Psalm 118:17-24

New Living Translation

¹⁷ I will not die; instead, I will live
    to tell what the Lord has done.
¹⁸ The Lord has punished me severely,
    but he did not let me die.

¹⁹ Open for me the gates where the righteous enter,
    and I will go in and thank the Lord.
²⁰ These gates lead to the presence of the Lord,
    and the godly enter there.
²¹ I thank you for answering my prayer
    and giving me victory!

²² The stone that the builders rejected
    has now become the cornerstone.
²³ This is the Lord’s doing,
    and it is wonderful to see.
²⁴ This is the day the Lord has made.
    We will rejoice and be glad in it.
