Psalm 118:1-2, 19-29

¹ Give thanks to the LORD because he is good, because his faithful love lasts forever. ² Let Israel say it: “God’s faithful love lasts forever!” 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. 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.
