Psalm 118

Commentary

Psalm 118 is a beautiful psalm that highlights the importance of thanking God for his goodness and mercy. The psalmist begins by declaring his love for the Lord, who has answered his prayers and delivered him from his enemies. He then calls on the people to join him in giving thanks to God, who is their salvation and their help in times of trouble.The psalmist also speaks of the Messiah, who will be rejected by the builders but will become the cornerstone. This is a prophetic reference to Jesus Christ, who was rejected by the religious authorities of his day but who became the cornerstone of the Christian faith. Christ is the foundation upon which our faith is built, and without him, we would have no hope.Psalm 118 reminds us of the importance of thanksgiving and praise in our relationship with God. We must never forget to thank him for his goodness and mercy, and we must always remember that our salvation and our hope are in him. Let us join with the psalmist in giving thanks to the Lord for his steadfast love endures forever.
