Psalm 118:25

Save us now, we beg you, LORD! LORD, we beg you, send prosperity now.

23This is the LORD’s doing. It is marvelous in our eyes.
24This is the day that the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it!
25Save us now, we beg you, LORD! LORD, we beg you, send prosperity now.
26Blessed is he who comes in the LORD’s name! We have blessed you out of the LORD’s house.
27The LORD is God, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar.
