Psalm chapter 16 verses 9 and 10,

0:08.5

therefore my heart is glad and my whole being rejoices. My flesh also dwells secure,

0:16.4

for you will not abandon my soul to shield or let your holy ones see corruption.

0:23.9

Oh yes, that this would be the Psalm to read and pray according to on Resurrection Sunday,

0:31.9

the day when we celebrate Jesus rising from the dead. Because this Psalm, these verses,

0:40.4

specifically Psalm chapter 16 verse 10 is quoted later in Acts chapter 13 as Paul is preaching

0:49.2

in Pasidium Antioch. And he says, we bring you the good news that what God promised to the

0:54.8

fathers all throughout the Old Testament, this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising

1:01.3

1:53.2

holy one see corruption. And just to keep going as a result for all who are in Jesus, for all who

2:16.4

You will not see corruption because all who are in Jesus will live forever with him. So yes,

2:25.8

Psalm 16 verse 9 makes a lot of sense. Therefore my heart is glad in my whole being rejoices. My flesh
