Several days later, the Lord quoted from Psalm 118:22-23, as he warns the hard-hearted of impending judgment (Luke 20:17-18).
This Psalm is part of the Great Hallel and is the "hymn" that the disciples sang as the concluded the last Passover and first Lord's Supper.
The middle portion of this Psalm points us to an event in the life of David, when King Saul demanded 100 foreskins from the Philistines as the bride-price for his daughter Michal (1 Samuel 18:20-29).
Mitchell Dahood translates verses 10-12: All nations surrounded me, but in Yahweh's name indeed I cut off their foreskins.
