Psalms 118:24

Joy Gratitude Praise and worship

²² The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

²³ This is from the LORD, and it is marvelous in our eyes.

This is the day that the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

²⁵ O LORD, save us, we pray. We beseech You, O LORD, cause us to prosper!

²⁶ Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD. From the house of the LORD we bless you.
