Psalms 118(117):1-2.16ab-17.22-23.

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, 

for his mercy endures forever. 

Let the house of Israel say, 

"His mercy endures forever." 

"The right hand of the LORD is exalted; 

the right hand of the LORD has struck with power." 

I shall not die, but live, 

and declare the works of the LORD. 

The stone which the builders rejected 

has become the cornerstone. 

By the LORD has this been done; 

it is wonderful in our eyes.
