Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and praise Adonai.
Open the gates! Let the righteous nation enter— one that keeps faith.
How fortunate are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the Tree of Life and may enter through the gates into the city.
Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise! Praise Him, bless His Name.
Hezekiah had said, “What is the sign that I will go up to the House of Adonai?”
Adonai will save me. So we will play my songs on stringed instruments all the days of our life in the House of Adonai.”
Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving. Let us shout joyfully to Him with songs.
Sing to God, sing praises to His Name. Prepare the road for Him who rides through the deserts, whose Name is Adonai— and rejoice before Him.
