25 Indeed it was to him that David was referring when he said-- 'I have had the Lord ever before my eyes, For he stands at my right hand, that I should not be disquieted.
26 Therefore my heart was cheered, and my tongue told its delight; Yes, even my body, too, will rest in hope;
27 For you wilt not abandon my soul to the Place of Death, nor surrender me, your holy one, to undergo corruption.
28 Thou have shown me the path to life, you wilt fill me with gladness in your presence.'
29 Brothers, I can speak to you the more confidently about the Patriarch David, because he is dead and buried, and his tomb is here among us to this very day.
30 David, then, Prophet as he was, knowing that God 'had solemnly sworn to him to set one of his descendants upon his throne,' looked into the future,
31 And referred to the resurrection of the Christ when he said that 'he had not been abandoned to the Place of Death, nor had his body undergone corruption.'
32 It was this Jesus, whom God raised to life; and of that we are ourselves all witnesses.
33 And now that he has been exalted to the right hand of God, and has received from the Father the promised gift of the Holy Spirit, he has begun to pour out that gift, as you yourselves now see and hear.
