17 I will not die, but live,and declare the Lord’s works.
18 The Lord has punished me severely,but he has not given me over to death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness.I will enter into them.I will give thanks to the Lord.
20 This is the gate of the Lord;the righteous will enter into it.
21 I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me,and have become my salvation [yeshu`ah].
22 The stone which the builders rejectedhas become the cornerstone.
23 This is the Lord’s doing.It is marvelous in our eyes.
