Open to me the gates of righteousness,

that I may enter through them and give thanks to the LORD.

This is the Lord’s doing;

it is marvelous in our eyes.

The LORD is God, and he has given us light.

Bind the festal procession with branches, up to the horns of the altar.

You are my God, and I will give thanks to you;

you are my God, I will extol you.

O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,

for his steadfast love endures forever.

Psalm 118:19, 23, 26-28
