Psalms 118:19 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 118:19

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.

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

26 ^aBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
We have blessed you from the house of the Lord.

27 God is the Lord,
And He has given us ^alight;
Bind the sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar.

28 You are my God, and I will praise You;
^aYou are my God, I will exalt You.

29 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
