because you will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor let your Holy One see decay.
In context
25David says of him: ‘I kept the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken. 26That is why my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced; my body, too, will rest in hope, 27because you will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor let your Holy One see decay. 28You have shown me the paths of life; you will fill me with gladness in your presence.’ 29Brothers, I may speak to you plainly about the patriarch David: he died and was buried, and his tomb is here among us to this day.
