Commentary on Psalms 118:22

Theological / Devotional

The stone. A prophecy based on an actual historical incident that occurred during the building of Solomon’s Temple.

The head stone. That is, the chief stone of the corner. Isaiah was shown that this stone was a symbol of Christ (Isa. 8:13–15; 28:16; cf. Acts 4:11; 1 Peter 2:6). In His humiliation Christ was despised and rejected, but in His glorification He has become the head of all things both in heaven and in earth (Eph. 1:22).
