25
For David says concerning him, 1āāI saw the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken;
26
therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; my flesh also will dwell 2in hope.
27
For you will not abandon my soul to 3Hades, 4or let your 5Holy One 6see corruption.
28
You have made known to me the paths of life; you will make me full of gladness with your presence. ā
29
āBrothers, I may say to you with confidence about 7the patriarch David 8that he both died and 9was buried, and 10his tomb is with us to this day.
30
11Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that 12God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne,
31
he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that 13he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.
32
This Jesus 14God raised up, 15and of that we all are witnesses.
33
16Being therefore 17exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from 18the Father 19the promise of the Holy Spirit, 20he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing.
34
For 21David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says, 22āāThe Lord said to my Lord, āSit at my right hand,
35
until I make your enemies your footstool. āā
