but I shall live,
and recount the deeds of the Lord!
18. The Lord chastised me
with correction,
but has not delivered me over to death.
19. Open to me the gates
of righteousness;
I pass through them and give thanks
to the Lord.
20. This is the gate of the Lord;
the righteous enter through it.
21. I will give thanks to you,
for you have heard me,
and become my salvation.
22. The stone which the builders rejected,
the very one,
now has become the chief cornerstone.

24. This is the day which the Lord
has made,
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
25. O Lord, save, I beseech you,
O Lord, grant prosperity indeed!
26. Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.
We have blessed all of you from the house of the Lord.

9. How can a youth make his way prosperous?
By keeping your words.
10. With all my heart I have diligently sought you;
do not let me fall away from your commandments.
