25 What David said are really the words of Jesus,“I always see the Lordnear me,and I will not be afraidwith him at my right side.
26 Because of this,my heart will be glad,my words will be joyful,and I will live in hope.
27 The Lord won't leave mein the grave.I am his holy one,and he won't letmy body decay.
28 He has shown methe path to life,and he makes me gladby being near me.”
