Acts 2:25-28

25 A long time ago, King David spoke about the Messiah in this way:

2:25Messiah is a Hebrew word for a king that God has chosen to rule his people. In the Greek language the word is ‘Christ.’ God promised his people that the Messiah would come to rescue them, and to be their king.

“I saw the Lord near me all the time.

He is next to me, on my right side,

so nothing will cause me trouble.

26 Because of this, I am very happy,

and I will praise you, God.

I am human and one day I will die,

but I know that you will help me while I live.

27 When I die, you will not leave me in the deep hole of death.

You will not let anything destroy the body of your Holy One.

28 You have shown me the paths that lead to life with you.

I will be completely happy

because you will be with me for ever.” ’

2:28See Psalm 16:8-11.
