Psalm 118:15-24

¹⁵ The sounds of joyful songs and deliverance are heard in the tents of the righteous: “The LORD’s strong hand is victorious! ¹⁶ The LORD’s strong hand is ready to strike! The LORD’s strong hand is victorious!” ¹⁷ I won’t die—no, I will live and declare what the LORD has done. ¹⁸ Yes, the LORD definitely disciplined me, but he didn’t hand me over to death. 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!
