Psalm 118:19-25:25

His Steadfast Love Endures Forever

19 a Open to me the gates of righteousness,
that I may enter through them
and give thanks to the Lord.
 20 This is the gate of the Lord;
b the righteous shall enter through it.
 21 I thank you that c you have answered me
u and have become my salvation.
 22 d The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone. 1
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.

25 Save us, we pray, O Lord!
O Lord, we pray, give us success!
