Open for me the gates where the righteous enter, and I will go in and thank the Lord.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name.
Father to the fatherless, defender of widows— this is God, whose dwelling is holy.
Let us come to him with thanksgiving. Let us sing psalms of praise to him.
Open the gates to all who are righteous; allow the faithful to enter.
Think of it—the Lord is ready to heal me! I will sing his praises with instruments every day of my life in the Temple of the Lord.
And Hezekiah had asked, “What sign will prove that I will go to the Temple of the Lord?”
Blessed are those who wash their robes. They will be permitted to enter through the gates of the city and eat the fruit from the tree of life.
