18 The Lord has chastened me severely,but he has not given me over to death.
19 Open for me the gates of the righteous;I will enter and give thanks to the Lord.
20 This is the gate of the Lordthrough which the righteous may enter.
21 I will give you thanks, for you answered me;you have become my salvation.
22 The stone the builders rejectedhas become the cornerstone;
23 the Lord has done this,and it is marvellous in our eyes.
24 The Lord has done it this very day;let us rejoice today and be glad.
