  1. 25For David says concerning him,
    ‘I saw the Lord always before my face,
    for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
  2. 26Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced.
    Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope;
  3. 27because you will not leave my soul in Hades,
    neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.
  4. 28You made known to me the ways of life.
    You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’
  5. 29“Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
