Psalm for Thursday in the First Week of Advent

Psalm 118:19-24

Open for me the gates of righteousness;

I will enter them; I will offer thanks to the Lord.

"This is the gate of the Lord;

he who is righteous may enter."

I will give thanks to you, for you answered me

and have become my salvation.

The same stone which the builders rejected

has become the chief cornerstone.

This is the Lord's doing,

and it is marvelous in our eyes.

On this day the Lord has acted;

we will rejoice and be glad it it.
