תהלים, פרק קי״ח, פסוק כ״ג

A dramatic shift in reality brings about a public recognition that salvation does not stem from human strength, the laws of nature, or mere luck. Instead, sudden rescue and the reversal of fortunes are seen clearly as direct acts of God. The primary approach among commentators is that this realization will be declared universally. It may be voiced by the kings of the nations, standing in absolute awe of the sudden salvation [רד״ק], or it might be the collective voice of the people of Israel speaking together [אבן עזרא].

The rejected stone that rises to prominence does not draw its newfound strength from within itself, but relies entirely on God [אבן עזרא, מצודת דוד]. This dramatic rise is also viewed as an allusion to the journeys of King David and the ultimate Messiah [אלשיך].

The nature of this complete redemption is entirely hidden from human understanding [מצודת ציון, ביאור שטיינזלץ]. Because it unfolds in a way that defies all natural explanation, people simply cannot comprehend exactly how it came to be [מצודת דוד]. Yet, there is a crucial distinction in how this miracle is perceived. The event appears wondrous and baffling only from a limited human perspective. From the viewpoint of God, who created entire worlds with ease and without any strain, bringing about this miraculous salvation is a simple matter and is not considered a wonder at all [אלשיך].
