Psalms 118:19-20

118:19 Open for me the gates of the just king’s temple! ¹ 

I will enter through them and give thanks to the Lord.

118:20 This is the Lord’s gate –

the godly enter through it.

Isaiah 26:2

26:2 Open the gates so a righteous nation can enter –

one that remains trustworthy.

[118:19]  ¹ 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.
