Psalm 118:22-23

22 [a]The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.(A)
23 By the Lord has this been done;
it is wonderful in our eyes.
Footnotes
- 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).

Isaiah 28:16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 Therefore, thus says the Lord God:
See, I am laying a stone in Zion,[a]
a stone that has been tested,
A precious cornerstone as a sure foundation;
whoever puts faith in it will not waver.(A)
Footnotes
- 28:16 A stone in Zion: the true and sure foundation of salvation, i.e., the presence of God, who had chosen and founded Zion as his city (Ps 78:68–69; Is 14:32) and had chosen the Davidic dynasty to rule over his people (Ps 78:70–72; Is 9:1–6; 11:1–10). Cornerstone: the assurance of salvation, rejected by the people of Judah in the prophet’s time, is picked up in Ps 118:22 and later applied to Christ; cf. Mt 21:42; Lk 20:17; Acts 4:11; Rom 9:33; 1 Pt 2:7. Chapters 28–31 alternate between threats of the danger of rebelling against Assyria (with implied trust in Egypt) with assurances of the power and protection of the Lord.
