The people of God would have sung Psalm 118 ritually, every year at the passover, but the meaning of the Psalm would have changed through the ups and downs of their history. By the time Jesus arrives in Jerusalem for the passover, greeted by the words of this psalm, it would have been a confession and a plea for salvation. From it, we can learn, ourselves to confess and rejoice in our low estate, and plead with the Lord day by day to forgive and save us.  Concept credit: Brynn Herrington, Highrock North Shore, Beverly, MA.
