Psalm 118:1-4, 19-29 Palm Sunday

Give thanks to the LORD because he is good,
    because his faithful love lasts forever.
  Let Israel say it:
    “God’s faithful love lasts forever!”
  Let the house of Aaron say it:
    “God’s faithful love lasts forever!”
  Let those who honor the LORD say it:
    “God’s faithful love lasts forever!”
Open the gates of righteousness for me
    so I can come in and give thanks to the LORD!
This is the LORD’s gate;
    those who are righteous enter through it.
Open the gates of righteousness for me
    so I can come in and give thanks to the Lord!
This is the Lord’s gate;
    those who are righteous enter through it.
I thank you because you answered me,
    because you were my saving help.
The stone rejected by the builders
    is now the main foundation stone!
This has happened because of the Lord;
    it is astounding in our sight!
This is the day that the LORD has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Lord, please save us!
    Lord, please let us succeed!
The one who enters in the Lord’s name is blessed;
    we bless all of you from the Lord’s house.
The Lord is God!
    He has shined a light on us!
So lead the festival offering with ropes
    all the way to the horns of the altar.[d]
You are my God—I will give thanks to you!
    You are my God—I will lift you up high!
Give thanks to the Lord because he is good,
    because God’s faithful love lasts forever.
