Psalm 118:15-29

New Living Translation

¹⁵Songs of joy and victory are sung in the camp of the godly.
    The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things!
¹⁶The strong right arm of the Lord is raised in triumph.
    The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things!
¹⁷I will not die; instead, I will live
    to tell what the Lord has done.
¹⁸The Lord has punished me severely,
    but he did not let me die.

¹⁹Open for me the gates where the righteous enter,
    and I will go in and thank the Lord.
²⁰These gates lead to the presence of the Lord,
    and the godly enter there.
²¹I thank you for answering my prayer
    and giving me victory!

²²The stone that the builders rejected
    has now become the cornerstone.
²³This is the Lord’s doing,
    and it is wonderful to see.
²⁴This is the day the Lord has made.
    We will rejoice and be glad in it.
²⁵Please, Lord, please save us.
    Please, Lord, please give us success.
²⁶Bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord.
    We bless you from the house of the Lord.
²⁷The Lord is God, shining upon us.
    Take the sacrifice and bind it with cords on the altar.
²⁸You are my God, and I will praise you!
    You are my God, and I will exalt you!
