18 The Lord has (A)chastened[a] me severely,
But He has not given me over to death.

19 (B)Open to me the gates of righteousness;
I will go through them,
And I will praise the Lord.
20 (C)This is the gate of the Lord,
(D)Through which the righteous shall enter.

21 I will praise You,
For You have (E)answered me,
And have become my salvation.

22 (F)The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
23 [b]This was the Lord’s doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.

25 Save now, I pray, O Lord;
O Lord, I pray, send now prosperity.
