25 David spoke about him. He said, " 'I know that the Lord is always with me. He is at my right hand. I will always be secure.
26 So my heart is glad. Joy is on my tongue. My body also will be full of hope.
27 You will not leave me in the grave. You will not let your Holy One rot away.
28 You always show me the path that leads to life. You will fill me with joy when I am with you.' (Psalm 16:8-11)
29 "Brothers, you can be sure that King David died. He was buried. His tomb is still here today.
30 But David was a prophet. He knew that God had made a promise to him. He had taken an oath that someone in David's family line would be king after him.
31 David saw what was ahead. So he spoke about the Christ rising from the dead. He said that the Christ would not be left in the grave. His body wouldn't rot in the ground.
