136 Grk “Therefore he also says in another”; the word “psalm” is not in the Greek text but is implied.
137 The Greek word translated “Holy One” here (ὅσιόν, hosion) is related to the use of ὅσια (hosia) in v. 34. The link is a wordplay. The Holy One, who does not die, brings the faithful holy blessings of promise to the people.
138 Grk “to see,” but the literal translation of the phrase “to see decay” could be misunderstood to mean simply “to look at decay,” while here “see decay” is really figurative for “experience decay.”
139 A quotation from Ps 16:10.

In other versions

Therefore he says also in another psalm,

“ ‘You will not let your Holy One see corruption.’

So it is also stated elsewhere:

“ ‘You will not let your holy one see decay.’

Therefore he also says in another passage, You will not let your Holy One see decay.

Another psalm explains it more fully: ‘You will not allow your Holy One to rot in the grave.’

Therefore he also says in another psalm,

‘You will not permit your Holy One to experience decay.’

Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
