Acts 2:24-32 having delivered him from the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be overpower'd by it.

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ having delivered him from the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be overpower'd by it. ²⁵ for David says concerning him, "I had the Lord always present before me, he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved. ²⁶ therefore did my heart rejoice, my tongue was glad: and my body shall rest in hope. ²⁷ because thou wilt not leave my soul in the grave, nor wilt thou give thine holy one a prey to corruption. ²⁸ thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy by thy presence." ²⁹ men and brethren, let me with assurance tell you of the patriarch David, who died and was buried here, his sepulchre being with us to this day: ³⁰ that, as he was a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him, to place the fruit of his loins upon his throne: foreseeing this, ³¹ he spoke of the resurrection of Christ, when he said, "that his soul was not lest in the grave, neither did his body undergo corruption."' ³² 'tis this Jesus whom God hath raised up, of which we all are witnesses.
