The Day of Christ's Triumph
Most commentators see this verse as a prophecy fulfilled in Jesus. Following the 'rejected stone' becoming the 'cornerstone' (v. 22), 'this is the day' refers to Christ's resurrection and exaltation. Scholars like Matthew Henry and John Gill connect it to the Lord's Day, the Christian Sabbath, which is a weekly celebration of Christ's victory over sin and death. It is a day God specifically 'made' for joy because of our redemption.
