Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 118:22

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

22, 23. These words are applied by Christ ( Matthew 21:42 ) to Himself, as the foundation of the Church (compare Acts 4:11 ; Ephesians 2:20 ; 1 Peter 2:4 ; 1 Peter 2:7 ). It may here denote God's wondrous exaltation to power and influence of him whom the rulers of the nation despised. Whether (see on 1 Peter 2:7- : ) David or Zerubbabel (compare Haggai 2:2 ; Zechariah 4:7-10 ) be primarily meant, there is here typically represented God's more wonderful doings in exalting Christ, crucified as an impostor, to be the Prince and Saviour and Head of His Church. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-24" class="com-number"
