Biblical Symmetry in 1 Peter/Psalms

I saw this, and I thought it was interesting enough to document:


Psalm 118:22:

"The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone"

And then in 1 Peter 2:4:

"You are coming to Christ, who is the living cornerstone of God's temple. He was rejected by people, but he was chosen by God for great honor."

Now, I'm assuming that Peter is referencing Psalms when he writes this, and this isn't pure coincidence. If it is pure coincidence, that makes it even more remarkable. Nevertheless, the fact that verse 22 is even in Psalms is surprising. In fact, when reading the whole Psalm, it barely even makes sense in its context, yet Psalms was the most popular book found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, so as far as I know there's no way this verse was inserted after the life of Christ.  The verse in Psalms is very much like what happened: The builders (Israel) rejected one of their own (Jesus), and he's now the cornerstone of the Christian church, later elaborated on in 1 Peter as seen above.
