Verse 35. Wherefore did. To the same intent or end. In the proof of the same thing--that he must rise and live for ever. He saith. God says by David; or David declares the promises made by God. In another Psalm; Ps 16:10. Thou shalt not suffer, etc. See Barnes "Ac 2:27". {c} "in another Psalm" Ps 16:10 __________________________________________________________________
