הִ֖יא נִפְלָ֣את בְּעֵינֵֽינוּ׃
הָ֝יְתָ֗ה לְרֹ֣אשׁ פִּנָּֽה׃
מֵאֵ֣ת יהוה הָ֣יְתָה זֹּ֑את
הִ֖יא נִפְלָ֣את בְּעֵינֵֽינוּ׃

has become the chief cornerstone.
This is the LORD’s doing;
it is marvelous in our sight.

The boy the builders rejected;
he was among the sons of Jesse and he was privileged to be appointed as king and ruler.
