2:25For David says about him,
‘I saw the Lord always in front of me,50
for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken.
2:26Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced;
my body51 also will live in hope,
2:27because you will not leave my soul in Hades,52
nor permit your Holy One to experience53 decay.
2:28You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will make me full of joy with your presence.’54
Footnotes
- 50 Or “always before me.”
- 51 Grk “my flesh.”
- 52 Or “will not abandon my soul to Hades.” Often “Hades” is the equivalent of the Hebrew term Sheol, the place of the dead.
- 53 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.”
- 54 A quotation from Ps 16:8–11.

King David said this about him:
‘I see that the Lord is always with me.
I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
No wonder my heart is glad,
and my tongue shouts his praises!
My body rests in hope.
For you will not leave my soul among the dead
or allow your Holy One to rot in the grave.
You have shown me the way of life,
and you will fill me with the joy of your presence.’

‘I saw the Lord before me continually,
for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken.

and my tongue rejoiced greatly,

You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will fill me with gladness with your presence.’

For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
