“O set ye open unto me the gates of righteousness;”

Scottish Metrical Psalm – Psalm 118 from verse 19 (7 stanzas)
  1. O set ye open unto me
         the gates of righteousness;
    Then will I enter into them,
         and I the Lord will bless.
  1. This is the gate of God, by it
         the just shall enter in.
    Then will I praise, for thou me heard'st,
         and hast my safety been.
  1. That stone is made head corner-stone,
         which builders did despise:
    This is the doing of the Lord,
         and wondrous in our eyes.
  1. This is the day God made, in it;
         we'll joy triumphantly.
    Save now, I pray thee, Lord; I pray,
         send now prosperity.
  1. Blessed is he in God's great name
         that cometh us to save:
    We, from the house which to the Lord
         pertains, you blessed have.
  1. God is the Lord, who unto us
         hath made light to arise:
    Bind ye unto the alter's horns
         with cords the sacrifice.
  1. Thou art my God, I'll thee exalt;
         my God, I will thee praise.
    Give thanks to God, for he is good:
         his mercy lasts always.
