Compare all
17 aI shall not die, but live,
And bdeclare the works of the Lord. 
18 The Lord has achastened me severely,
But He has not given me over to death. 
19 aOpen to me the gates of righteousness;
I will go through them,
And I will praise the Lord. 
20 aThis is the gate of the Lord,
bThrough which the righteous shall enter. 
21 I will praise You,
For You have aanswered me,
And have become my salvation. 
22 aThe stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone. 
23 1This 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.

Psalms 118:19

Open to me the gates of righteousness ... - The gates of the house devoted to a righteous God; the gates of a house where the principles of righteousness are strengthened, and where the just emotions of the heart may be expressed in the language of praise. Compare the notes at Isaiah 26:2. The language here may be regarded as addressed to those who had charge of the house of the Lord - the priests - requesting that they would open the doors and permit him to enter to praise God for his mercy. Compare Isaiah 38:20.
