Psalms 118:20 - Exposition

This gate of the Lord, into which the righteous shall enter ; rather, this is the gate of the Lord : the righteous [and they alone] shall enter by it . "This verse seems to stand apart—a solo, chanted by a voice out of the temple gate" (Kay). Though sinners doubtless sometimes entered ( 2 Kings 11:13 ; 2 Chronicles 26:16-20 ; John 2:14 ), none but the righteous had any right to enter.
