This [is] the day [which] the Lord hath made
Famous and remarkable for the above events. Meaning either the
day of Christ's entrance into Jerusalem, in order to be delivered
up to the Jews, and suffer and die in the place of his people; to
which the following words agree: or the day of his resurrection
F7 from the dead; when God gave him
glory, and was matter of joy to those for whose justification he
rose; or the Lord's day, kept in commemoration of it: or rather
the whole Gospel dispensation, made a bright day by the sun of
righteousness; and which is the now present day of salvation;
we will rejoice and be glad in it;
because of the blessings of grace, peace, pardon, righteousness,
and salvation, which came through the humiliation and exaltation
of Christ, and are published in the everlasting Gospel. The
Targum is,
``this day the Lord hath made, said the builders; let us rejoice and be glad in it, said the sons of Jesse.''
