Therefore my heart is glad, my soul rejoices;
    my body also dwells secure,
10 For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol,
    nor let your devout one see the pit.[a](A)
11 You will show me the path to life,
    abounding joy in your presence,
    the delights at your right hand forever.

  1. 16:10 Nor let your devout one see the pit: Hebrew shahath means here the pit, a synonym for Sheol, the underworld. The Greek translation derives the word here and elsewhere from the verb shahath, “to be corrupt.” On the basis of the Greek, Acts 2:25–32; 13:35–37 apply the verse to Christ’s resurrection, “Nor will you suffer your holy one to see corruption.”

Therefore my heart is glad(A) and my tongue rejoices;
    my body also will rest secure,(B)
10 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,(C)
    nor will you let your faithful[a] one(D) see decay.(E)
11 You make known to me the path of life;(F)
    you will fill me with joy in your presence,(G)
    with eternal pleasures(H) at your right hand.(I)
