118:17  I shall not die; rather I shall live and recount the works of the Lord.
118:18  Even though the Lord punished me harshly, he did not hand me over to death.
118:19  Open to me the gates of righteousness so that I may enter them and praise the Lord.
118:20  This is the gate of the Lord through which the righteous enter.
118:21  I thank you for having answered me; you have become my salvation.
118:22  The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
118:23  This is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes.
118:24  This is the day that the Lord has made; let us exult and rejoice in it.
118:25  O Lord, grant us salvation. O Lord, grant us success.
118:26  Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. We bless you from the house of the Lord.
118:27  The Lord is God, and he has given us light. Holding leafy branches, join in the festal procession up to the horns of the altar.
118:28  You are my God, and I will offer thanks to you; you are my God, and I will extol you.
118:29  Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his kindness endures forever. Aleph
