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.
