8 I keep the Lord always before me,
for with him at my right hand
I will never fall.
9 [a]Therefore, my heart is glad
and my soul rejoices;
my body too is filled with confidence.
10 For you will not abandon me to the netherworld
or allow your Holy One[b] to suffer corruption.
Footnotes
- Psalm 16:9 The Lord, in whom the psalmist takes refuge, wills life for him (hence he has made known to him the path of life, v. 11) and will not abandon him to the grave, even though “heart and . . . flesh fail” (Ps 73:26). But implicit in these words of assurance (if not actually explicit) is the confidence that, with the Lord as his refuge, even the grave cannot rob him of life (see Pss 17:15; 73:24). If this could be said of David, how much more of David’s promised Son! So Peter quotes verses 8-11 and declares that with these words David prophesied of Christ and his Resurrection (Acts 2:25-28; see Paul’s similar use of v. 10b in Acts 13:35). Heart: see note on Ps 4:8.
- Psalm 16:10 Holy One: the reference is first of all to David, but the psalm is ultimately fulfilled in Christ.
