New King James Version

Psalms 118:17-28 New King James Version (NKJV)

17. I shall not die, but live,And declare the works of the Lord.

18. The Lord has chastened me severely,But He has not given me over to death.

19. Open to me the gates of righteousness;I will go through them,And I will praise the Lord.

20. This is the gate of the Lord,Through which the righteous shall enter.

21. I will praise You,For You have answered me,And have become my salvation.

22. The stone which the builders rejectedHas become the chief cornerstone.

23. This was the Lord’s doing;It is marvelous in our eyes.

24. This is the day the Lord has made;We will rejoice and be glad in it.

25. Save now, I pray, O Lord;O Lord, I pray, send now prosperity.

26. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!We have blessed you from the house of the Lord.

27. God is the Lord,And He has given us light;Bind the sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar.

28. You are my God, and I will praise You;You are my God, I will exalt You.
