The Lord has chastened me severely, but He has not given me over to death.
Open to me the gates of righteousness;
I will go through them, and I will praise the Lord.
This is the gate of the Lord, through which the righteous shall enter.
I will praise You, for You have answered me, and have become my salvation.
The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.
This was the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.
This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:18-24
(NKJV)
