'Gates' in the Bible
Be gracious to me, O Lord;See my affliction from those who hate me,You who lift me up from the gates of death,
That I may tell of all Your praises,That in the gates of the daughter of ZionI may rejoice in Your salvation.
Lift up your heads, O gates,And be lifted up, O ancient doors,That the King of glory may come in!
Lift up your heads, O gates,And lift them up, O ancient doors,That the King of glory may come in!
The Lord loves the gates of ZionMore than all the other dwelling places of Jacob.
Enter His gates with thanksgivingAnd His courts with praise.Give thanks to Him, bless His name.
For He has shattered gates of bronzeAnd cut bars of iron asunder.
Their soul abhorred all kinds of food,And they drew near to the gates of death.
Open to me the gates of righteousness;I shall enter through them, I shall give thanks to the Lord.
For He has strengthened the bars of your gates;He has blessed your sons within you.
