Psalm 118

Open for me the gates of righteousness; *

I will enter them;

I will offer thanks to the Lord.

“This is the gate of the Lord; *

he who is righteous may enter.”

I will give thanks to you, for you answered me *

and have become my salvation.

The same stone which the builders rejected *

has become the chief cornerstone.

This is the Lord’s doing, *

and it is marvelous in our eyes.

On this day the Lord has acted; *

we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Hosannah, Lord, hosannah! *

Lord, send us now success.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; *

we bless you from the house of the Lord.

God is the Lord; he has shined upon us; *

form a procession with branches up to the horns of the altar.

“You are my God, and I will thank you; *

you are my God, and I will exalt you.”

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; *

his mercy endures for ever.
