Psalm 118:1-2, 14-24 (NRSV)

​ 1O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
 his steadfast love endures forever!
 2Let Israel say,
 "His steadfast love endures forever."
 14The LORD is my strength and my might;
 he has become my salvation.
 15There are glad songs of victory in the tents of the righteous:
 "The right hand of the LORD does valiantly;
 16the right hand of the LORD is exalted;
 the right hand of the LORD does valiantly."
 17I shall not die, but I shall live,
 and recount the deeds of the LORD.
 18The LORD has punished me severely,
 but he did not give me over to death.
 19Open to me the gates of righteousness,
 that I may enter through them
 and give thanks to the LORD.
 20This is the gate of the LORD;
 the righteous shall enter through it.
 21I thank you that you have answered me
 and have become my salvation.
 22The stone that the builders rejected
 has become the chief cornerstone.
 23This is the LORD's doing;
 it is marvelous in our eyes.
 24This is the day that the LORD has made;
 let us rejoice and be glad in it.
