Psalm 118:19-29

Common English Bible

¹⁹ Open the gates of righteousness for me
    so I can come in and give thanks to the Lord!
²⁰ This is the Lord’s gate;
    those who are righteous enter through it.

²¹ I thank you because you answered me,
    because you were my saving help.
²² The stone rejected by the builders
    is now the main foundation stone!
²³ This has happened because of the Lord;
    it is astounding in our sight!
²⁴ This is the day the Lord acted;
    we will rejoice and celebrate in it!

²⁵ Lord, please save us!
    Lord, please let us succeed!

²⁶ The one who enters in the Lord’s name is blessed;
    we bless all of you from the Lord’s house.
²⁷ The Lord is God!
    He has shined a light on us!
So lead the festival offering with ropes
    all the way to the horns of the altar.^[a]
28 You are my God—I will give thanks to you!
    You are my God—I will lift you up high!
²⁹ Give thanks to the Lord because he is good,
    because his faithful love lasts forever.
