- 21I will give thanks unto Thee, for Thou hast answered me,
- And art become my salvation.

- Is become the chief corner-stone.

- It is marvellous in our eyes.
- 24This is the day which the Lord hath made;
- We will rejoice and be glad in it.
- 25We beseech Thee, O Lord, save now!
- We beseech Thee, O Lord, make us now to prosper!
- 26Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord;
- We bless you out of the house of the Lord.
- 27The Lord is God, and hath given us light;
- Order the festival procession with boughs, even unto the horns of the altar.
- 28Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto Thee;
- Thou art my God, I will exalt Thee.
- 29O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good,
- For His mercy endureth for ever.
