Acts 2:25-35

25 For David says in reference to Him, "`I constantly fixed my eyes upon the Lord, because He is at my right hand in order that I may continue unshaken.

26 For this reason my heart is glad and my tongue exults. My body also shall rest in hope.

27 For Thou wilt not leave me in the Unseen World forsaken, nor give up Thy holy One to undergo decay.

28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of Life: Thou wilt fill me with gladness in Thy presence.'

29 "As to the patriarch David, I need hardly remind you, brethren, that he died and was buried, and that we still have his tomb among us.

30 Being a Prophet, however, and knowing that God had solemnly sworn to him to seat a descendant of his upon his throne,

31 with prophetic foresight he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, to the effect that He was not left forsaken in the Unseen World, nor did His body undergo decay.

32 This Jesus, God has raised to life-- a fact to which all of us testify.

33 "Being therefore lifted high by the mighty hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out this which you see and hear.

34 For David did not ascend into Heaven, but he says himself, "`The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand

35 until I make thy foes a footstool under thy feet.'
