Lord is my strength and my song;

in the tents of the righteous:

The
Lord's right hand performs valiantly!"

and proclaim what
the
Lord has done.

Lord disciplined me severely
but did not give me over to death.

I will enter through them
and give thanks to
the
Lord.

the
Lord's gate;
the righteous will enter through it.
21. I will give thanks to you
because you have answered me
and have become my salvation.
22. The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.
23. This came from
the
Lord;
it is wondrous in our sight.

the
Lord has made;
let's rejoice and be glad in it.

Lord, please grant us success!

You are my God; I will exalt you.

the
Lord, for he is good;
