Meaning of key verses in Psalm 118

Psalm 118:24

Psalm 118 is a song of thanksgiving for God's rescue, sung at Passover and other festivals in Jerusalem. Just before this verse comes the line "The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner," which Jesus applied to himself. So "This is the day which the LORD hath made" first referred to a particular day of victory and deliverance. Christians have long connected it with the resurrection. Today the verse is also loved as a daily reminder: every day is a gift from God, so we choose to "rejoice and be glad in it," whatever the day may hold.
