Acts 2:25–29 · Berean Standard Bible

25 David says about Him: ‘I saw the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

26 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell in hope,

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

28 You have made known to me the paths of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence.’
