This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.
David reached the throne not by his own wit or men's favor, but appointed by God Himself. He had faced mortal dangers a hundred times over; God alone delivered him. This temporal kingdom figures the eternal spiritual kingdom of Christ, in whom David's person is fulfilled.

Commenting on Psalm 118:1-29
This is the Lord'S doing. The exalted position of Christ in his church is not the work of man, and does not depend for its continuation upon any builders or ministers; God himself has wrought the exaltation of our Lord Jesus.
Those who would enter God's gates must come as humble suitors, longing for admission into His sanctuary. Christ is that gate, the only way the righteous enter; by Him alone our praises reach the Father, for there is no coming to God but through Him.
