Cyprian

Treatise IV. On the Lord's Prayer 35 (258)

Likewise at the setting of the sun and at the end of the day necessarily there must again be prayer. For since Christ is the true Sun and the true Day, as the sun and the day of the world recede, when we pray and petition that the light come on us again, we pray for the coming of Christ to provide us with the grace of eternal light. Moreover, the Holy Spirit in the Psalms declares that Christ is called the Day. He says, "The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

This was a disgrace to Christ, but it proved the ruin of those that thus made light of him. Rejecters of Christ are rejected of God. He has become the headstone of the corner; he is advanced to the highest degree both of honour and usefulness, to be above all, and all in all.

The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Sermon No. 1420: “The Headstone of the Corner” (lightly modernized text, CCEL edition) (1878)

It would be difficult, if not impossible, to fix with certainty the occasion which first suggested this Psalm. It has even been thought to be purely prophetic and rather foretelling history than narrating it.

Charles Spurgeon

1834–1892

The Treasury of David, Vol. 5 (1878)

This is the Lord'S doing. The exalted position of Christ in his church is not the work of man, and does not depend for its continuation upon any builders or ministers; God himself has wrought the exaltation of our Lord Jesus. Considering the opposition which comes from the wisdom, the power, and the authority of this world, it is manifest that if the kingdom of Christ be indeed set up and maintained in the world it must be by supernatural power. Indeed, it is so even in the smallest detail.
