| Psalm 16:8–10b [8] I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. [9] Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. [10] For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. |
Acts 13:35–37 [35] Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. [36] For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption. [37] But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption. |
| Tanakh – Ketuvim – Psalms 16:8–10b | |
|
[8] I have set HaShem always before me; surely He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. [9] Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth; my flesh also dwelleth in safety. [10] For Thou wilt not abandon my soul to the nether-world; neither wilt Thou suffer Thy godly one to see the pit. |

[16:8] שִׁוִּיתִי יְהוָה לְנֶגְדִּי תָמִיד כִּי מִימִינִי בַּל־אֶמּוֹט [16:9] לָכֵן שָׂמַח לִבִּי וַיָּגֶל כְּבוֹדִי אַף־בְּשָׂרִי יִשְׁכֹּן לָבֶטַח [16:10] כִּי לֹא־תַעֲזֹב נַפְשִׁי לִשְׁאוֹל לֹא־תִתֵּן חֲסִידְךָ לִרְאוֹת שָׁחַת |
