24. God raised Him up, ending the pains of death, because it was not possible for Him to be held by it.

26. Therefore my heart was glad,and my tongue rejoiced.Moreover, my flesh will rest in hope,

27. because You will not leave me in Hadesor allow Your Holy One to see decay.

28. You have revealed the paths of life to me;You will fill me with gladnessin Your presence.
