‏ Psalms 118:17-19

17 I will not die, but live,
and I will proclaim what the Lord has done. ^{▼▼tn Heb “the works of the Lord.”}
18 The Lord severely ^{▼▼tn The infinitive absolute emphasizes the following verbal idea.} punished me,
but he did not hand me over to death.
19 Open for me the gates of the just king’s temple. ^{▼▼tn Heb “the gates of justice.” The gates of the Lord’s temple are referred to here, as v. 20 makes clear. They are called “gates of justice” because they are the entrance to the just king’s palace. This has been specified in the translation for clarity.}
I will enter through them and give thanks to the Lord.
