Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter them, [and] I will praise the LORD:

20 This is the gate of the Lord, the just shall enter into it.

This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.

21 I will give glory to thee because thou hast heard me: and art become my salvation.

28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, and I will exalt thee. I will praise thee, because thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

Thou [art] my God, and I will praise thee: [thou art] my God, I will exalt thee.
