Z 118 - Žalm je mesiášsky, Ježiš Kristus cituje 22. a 23. verš tohto žalmu o sebe (Mt 21,42; Mk 12,10; Lk 20,17) a aj sv. Peter so sv. Pavlom svedčia, že sa spomenuté verše splnili na Ježišovi (Sk 4,11; Rim 9,32; 1 Pt 2,7). Keď Ježiš na Kvetnú nedeľu slávnostne vstupoval do Jeruzalema, sami Židia mu privolávali slová 25. a 26. verša tohto žalmu (Mt 21,9).
Z 118,1 - Porov. Ž 106,1; 107,1; 136,1; Jer 33,11.
Z 118,2-4 - Porov. Ž 115,9-11; 135,19 n.
Z 118,5-18 - Zdá sa, že žalmista hovorí za celý národ.
Z 118,19-20 - Slávnostný sprievod dochádza k chrámu. Prichádzajúci prosia o vstup do chrámu. Aspoň dva chóry si navzájom odpovedajú. V odpovediach sa zračí poďakovanie za oslobodenie Izraela. Ľud sa chce poďakovať Pánovi. - Na prosbu ľudu odpovedajú kňazi. Do Pánovho chrámu, do nádvoria Izraelitov môžu vstúpiť len "spravodliví", t. j. príslušníci vyvoleného národa a tí, čo už žijú podľa Pánovho zákona. Pohania nesmeli vstúpiť do nádvoria Izraelitov (Ž 15,2; 24,4).
Z 118,22 - "Kameň, čo stavitelia zavrhli" atď., príslovie, ktorým sa chce povedať, že Pán si vyvolil tento malý a slabý národ, ktorým všetci opovrhujú a šliapu po ňom, a urobil z neho "uholný kameň", základný kameň svojho kráľovstva na zemi. Na ňom bude spočívať aj stavba mesiášskeho kráľovstva, ktoré sa rozšíri po celom svete. A Izrael bude v ňom najdôležitejším činiteľom (Ž 87,1; Iz 2,3; 14,1; 45,14 atď.; Jer 51,26), z neho sa narodí Mesiáš. Ježiš Kristus použil tieto slová o sebe samom (Mt 21,42-44 a paral.; porov. tiež Sk 4,11; Ef 2,20 n.; 1 Pt 2,7) proti vtedajšiemu židovskému pokoleniu.
Z 118,27 - "Boh, Pán, je naším svetlom" (Nm 6,25; Ž 6,7).
