²⁴ whom God raised up, having loosed the pangs of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

²⁵ For David saith concerning him, I beheld the Lord always before my face; For he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:

²⁶ Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; Moreover my flesh also shall dwell in hope:

²⁷ Because thou wilt not leave my soul unto Hades, Neither wilt thou give thy Holy One to see corruption.

²⁸ Thou madest known unto me the ways of life; Thou shalt make me full of gladness with thy countenance.

²³ Even though you knew that, you turned this man Jesus over to his enemies. However, God had already planned for that, and he knew all about it. Then you urged men SYN who do not obey God's law to kill Jesus. They did that by nailing him to a cross.

²⁴ He suffered terribly when he died, but God caused him to become alive again. God did not let him continue to be dead, because it was not possible for him PRS to remain dead.”

²⁵ “ Long ago King David wrote what the Messiah said, “I knew that you, Lord God, would always be near me. You are right beside MTY me, so I will not be afraid of those who want to harm me.

²⁶ Because of that I SYN joyfully praise you, O God. And I am completely confident that you(sg) will ◄ cause my body to become alive again/ raise me from the dead►.

²⁷ You will not allow my spirit to remain in the place where the dead are. You will not even let my body decay, because I am devoted to you and always obey you.

²⁸ You have told me that you will cause my body to become alive again. You will make me very happy because you will be with me forever.”

²⁹ Peter continued, “My fellow Jews, I can tell you confidently that our royal ancestor, King David, died, and that his body was buried {that people buried his body}. And the place where they buried his body is still here today.

²³ him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;

²⁴ whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.

²⁵ For 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.

²⁷ because you will not leave my soul in Hades, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.

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.

²³ Him, when he was given up, by the decision and knowledge of God, you put to death on the cross, by the hands of evil men:

²⁴ But God gave him back to life, having made him free from the pains of death because it was not possible for him to be overcome by it.

²⁵ For David said of him, I saw the Lord before my face at all times, for he is at my right hand, so that I may not be moved:

²⁶ And for this cause my heart was glad and my tongue full of joy, and my flesh will be resting in hope:

²⁷ For you will not let my soul be in hell and you will not give up your Holy One to destruction.

²⁸ You have made me see the ways of life; I will be full of joy when I see your face.

²⁹ My brothers, I may say to you openly that David came to his death, and was put in the earth, and his resting-place is with us today.

²⁴ Whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death, inasmuch as it was not possible that he should be held by its power;

²⁵ for David says as to him, I foresaw the Lord continually before me, because he is at my right hand that I may not be moved.

²⁴ Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the sorrows of hell, as it was impossible that he should be holden by it.

²⁵ For David saith concerning him: I foresaw the Lord before my face: because he is at my right hand, that I may not be moved.

²⁶ For this my heart hath been glad, and any tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.

²⁷ Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.

²⁸ Thou hast made known to me the ways of life: thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.

²⁹ Ye men, brethren, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David; that he died, and was buried; and his sepulchre is with us to this present day.

²³ Him, being delivered by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you took, and by lawless hands, nailing Him to a cross, you killed Him;

²⁴ whom God raised, thus doing away with the labor pains of death, because it was not possible for Him to be held by it.

²⁵ For David says concerning Him, ‘I foresaw the Lord always before me, because He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.

²⁶ Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope.

²⁷ Because You will not abandon my soul in Hades, nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.

²³ Him—being delivered up by the established purpose and foreknowledge of God—you murdered, having taken Him with lawless hands and crucified Him;

²⁴ whom God raised up, ending the labor pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.

²⁵ For David says concerning Him: ‘I always saw the Lord before my face, because He is at my right side so that I not be shaken.

²⁶ Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced. Furthermore, even my flesh will repose upon hope,

²⁷ because You will not abandon my soul in Hades, nor will You allow Your Holy One to see decay.

²⁸ You have made known to me roads of life; with Your presence You make me full of gladness.’

²⁹ “Men, brothers, be it permitted to speak to you plainly about the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

²³ God, knowing beforehand what would happen, followed his plan and resolved to hand him over to you. By means of the hands of wicked men, you killed him by nailing him to a cross.

²⁴ But God raised him back to life, freeing him from the burden of death, because death did not have the power to keep him a prisoner.

²⁵ David says of him, ‘I saw the Lord always in front of me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.

²⁶ That's why I'm so happy! That's why my words are full of joy! That's why my body lives in hope!

²⁷ For you will not abandon me in the grave, nor will you allow your Holy One to experience decay.

²⁸ You have revealed to me the ways of life. You will fill me with joy with your presence.’

²⁹ My brothers and sisters, let me tell you plainly that our ancestor David died and was buried, and his tomb is here with us to this day.

²⁵ For Dauid sayeth concerning him, I beheld the Lord alwaies before me: for hee is at my right hand, that I should not be shaken.

²⁶ Therefore did mine heart reioyce, and my tongue was glad, and moreouer also my flesh shall rest in hope,

²⁷ Because thou wilt not leaue my soule in graue, neither wilt suffer thine Holy one to see corruption.

²⁸ Thou hast shewed me the waies of life, and shalt make me full of ioy with thy countenance.

²⁹ Brethren, I may speak to you with freedom of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is among us to this day.

²³ He, I say, in accordance with God's definite plan and with his previous knowledge, was betrayed, and you, by the hands of lawless men, nailed him to a cross and put him to death.

²⁴ But God released him from the pangs of death and raised him to life, it being impossible for death to retain its hold on him.

²⁵ Indeed he was the one David was referring to when he said — ‘I have had the Lord ever before my eyes, For he stands at my right hand, so that I should not be disquieted.

²⁶ Therefore my heart was cheered, and my tongue told its delight; Yes, even my body, too, will rest in hope;

²⁷ For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, Nor surrender me, your holy one, to undergo corruption.

²⁸ You have shown me the path to life, You will fill me with gladness in your presence.’

²⁴ Yes, those bad men killed Jesus. He hurt a lot, and then he died. But God didn’t let him stay dead. God made him alive again. Nobody could make Jesus stay dead.

²⁵ A long time ago God’s man called David wrote about Jesus in God’s book. He wrote, ‘I saw you, God. You are always right here in front of me. You are close by my side and you look after me, so nobody can frighten me. So I am very happy and I tell everyone you are good. I know you will not leave my dead body in a grave. You will not let the body of your special person rot away. You showed me the right way to live so that I can keep on living, You are right here with me and you make me very happy.’ David wrote that in God’s book.”

²⁹ Peter kept on talking. He said, “My friends, I can tell you, for sure, about our grand-father David of long ago. He was not talking about himself. You see, he died and people buried him. His grave is still here, and we can see it today. So we know he didn’t come alive again.
