The Stone which the builders rejected has
become the chief corner-stone
Moses states that the heavens should give ear and listen to
the conditions and how he will apply them. He states "my lesson shall
drop as the rain" for that which he took from the heavens as the
Written Torah and His commandment upon the earth as the Oral Torah,
shall drop upon Israel and distill on them like dew. He is speaking to all
Israel for it is they who are on earth. Also, the "stone" of Joshua hints
to this earth, for "from there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel".
So, also "The stone which the builders rejected have become the chief
cornerstone. This is G‑d's doing..." So Joshua said
"Behold this stone shall be witness against us." And so also: "For
behold the stone which I have laid before Joshua has 7 faces.

house of Aaron shall now say, "For His kindness is eternal." |
|||||||||||||||||

who fear the Lord shall now say, "For His kindness is eternal." |

5 From
the straits I called God; God answered me with a vast expanse. |
|||||||||||||||||
6 The
Lord is for me; I shall not fear. What can man do to me? |
|||||||||||||||||
7 The
Lord is for me with my helpers, and I shall see [revenge] in my enemies. |
|||||||||||||||||
8 It
is better to take shelter in the Lord than to trust in man. |

9 It
is better to take shelter in the Lord than to trust in princes. |
|||||||||||||||||
10 All nations surrounded me; in the name
of the Lord that I shall cut them off. |
|||||||||||||||||
11 They encircled me, yea they surrounded
me; in the name of the Lord that I shall cut them off. |
|||||||||||||||||
12 They encircled me like bees; they were
extinguished like a thorn fire; in the name of the Lord that I shall cut them
off. |
|||||||||||||||||
13 You pushed me to fall, but the Lord
helped me. |
|||||||||||||||||
14 The might and the cutting power of God
was my salvation. |
|||||||||||||||||
15 A voice of singing praises and salvation
is in the tents of the righteous; the right hand of the Lord deals valiantly. |
|||||||||||||||||
16 The right hand of the Lord is exalted;
the right hand of the Lord deals valiantly. |
|||||||||||||||||
17 I shall not die but I shall live and
tell the deeds of God. |
|||||||||||||||||
18 God has chastised me, but He has not
delivered me to death. |
|||||||||||||||||
19 Open for me the gates of righteousness;
I shall enter them and thank God. |
|||||||||||||||||
20 This is the Lord's gate; the righteous
will enter therein. |
|||||||||||||||||
21 I shall thank You because You answered
me, and You were my salvation. |
|||||||||||||||||
22 The stone that the builders rejected
became a cornerstone. |
|||||||||||||||||
23 This was from the Lord; it is wondrous
in our eyes. |
|||||||||||||||||
24 This is the day that the Lord made; we
shall exult and rejoice thereon. |
|||||||||||||||||
25 Please, O Lord, save now! Please, O
Lord, make prosperous now! |
|||||||||||||||||
26 Blessed be he who has come in the name
of the Lord; we have blessed you in the name of the Lord. |
|||||||||||||||||
27 The Lord is God, and He gave us light.
Bind the sacrifice with ropes until [it is brought to] the corners of the
altar. |
|||||||||||||||||
28 You are my God and I shall thank You;
the God of my father, and I shall exalt You. |
|||||||||||||||||

good, for His kindness is eternal. By Julius
