Verse explanation
The “head stone of the corner” is the cornerstone, the most important piece in an ancient building, the one that locked the walls together. Saying that the builders rejected it and it then became the most important piece is an image of reversal, applied here to the people or the king saved by God.
From the Psalms 118 study in Bible in Stories.
