Barry Cl. of the General Convention of Ireland PSALM 118. 24 25 26. This is the day which the Lord hath made We will rejoyce and be glad in it Save now I beseech thee O Lord O Lord I beseech thee send now prosperity Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord I Have chosen these words for this time A Psalm and of praise is a fit subject for this occasion such is this psalm It begins and ends with praise ending as beginning and with the same words O give thanks unto the Lord for he is good for his mercy endureth for ever ver. 1. 29. There are we called on and invited to the Duty but here in the Text we are in the duty in the practice of it This is the day which the Lord hath made we will rejoyce and be glad in it c. This Psalm hath not the Author in its Title yet may we probably conclude it Davids A general consent of Writers ancient and modern is for it The matter also of the Psalm leads to it being much the same with the second Psalm that being as this of Davids and Christs Kingdom both first opposed and after established notwithstanding all to the contrary Why do the Heathen rage and the People imagine a vain thing the Kings of the Earth set themselves and the Rulers take Councell together against the Lord and against his anointed Yet have I set my King upon my holy hill of Sion Psa. 2. 1 2 6. where note that that Psalm hath also no title as this here yet is that declared to be Davids by the Testimony of the holy Ghost Acts 4. 25 26 27. Who by the mouth of thy Servant David hast said why did the Heathen rage c. Nor is this our Psalm as to the matter of it to be Apropriated unto David for here we find Jesus Christ of whom are principally the words which are next foregoing in the Text v. 22 23. The stone which the Builders refused is become he head stone of the corner This is the Lords doing it t is marvelous in our eyes Which are applied unto Chr i st Acts 4. 11 10. So also are these words in the Text Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord v. 26. with Math. 21. 9. David was here the tipe and what is to be said of David must be principally referred unto Christ the Antitipe the same matter being here as in many other Psalms common to both And whereas David is said to be A tipe of Jesus Christ it is intended Principally as he was a King he a tipe of Christs Kingly office as were others of his other offices propheticall and Priestly Therefore and for other reasons is Christ as a King called by the very name of David Ezech. 34. 23 24. I will set up one Shepheard over them and he shall feed them even my Servant David he shall feed them and he shall be their Shepheard and I the Lord will be their God and my Servant David a Prince amongst them I the Lord have spoken it Therefore must this Psalm be understood of David and of Christ as to the Kingly power and Government vested in them therefore is this Psalm in that yet neerer to the present occasion And yet more particularly these words seem to point to that very period of time when David first entred on his Kingdom in peace freed from those disturbances till then given him as it was also with Jesus Christ of either of them it might be said that he was A stone which the builders refused being after made the head stone of the corner v. 22. 23. unto this this tryumphant day in the Text doth particularly referr This is the day c.
