Footnotes
- 16:10 Nor let your devout one see the pit: Hebrew shahath means here the pit, a synonym for Sheol, the underworld. The Greek translation derives the word here and elsewhere from the verb shahath, “to be corrupt.” On the basis of the Greek, Acts 2:25–32; 13:35–37 apply the verse to Christ’s resurrection, “Nor will you suffer your holy one to see corruption.”
Psalm 16:11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 You will show me the path to life,
abounding joy in your presence,
the delights at your right hand forever.
