Footnotes

  1. 118:22 The stone the builders rejected: a proverb: what is insignificant to human beings has become great through divine election. The “stone” may originally have meant the foundation stone or capstone of the Temple. The New Testament interpreted the verse as referring to the death and resurrection of Christ (Mt 21:42; Acts 4:11; cf. Is 28:16 and Rom 9:33; 1 Pt 2:7).

22 The stone(A) the builders rejected
    has become the cornerstone;(B)
23 the Lord has done this,
    and it is marvelous(C) in our eyes.
24 The Lord has done it this very day;
    let us rejoice today and be glad.(D)
