So also, He says
This phrase introduces a quotation from the Psalms, indicating that the speaker, Paul, is referencing the Hebrew Scriptures to support his argument. The use of "He says" implies divine authority, as it is God who speaks through the Scriptures. In the context of Acts 13, Paul is addressing a Jewish audience in the synagogue, and by invoking the Psalms, he is connecting the message of Jesus Christ to the revered texts of their tradition. This approach underscores the continuity between the Old and New Testaments, affirming that the prophecies and promises of the Old Testament find their fulfillment in Jesus.

in another Psalm
The phrase "in another Psalm" points to the rich tapestry of the Psalms, a collection of songs and prayers that express the full range of human emotions and experiences. The Psalms are often seen as prophetic, with many Christians interpreting them as foretelling the coming of the Messiah. By referencing "another Psalm," Paul is drawing from a well-known and respected source, which would resonate with his Jewish audience. This particular Psalm is Psalm 16, a text attributed to David, which holds significant messianic implications.

‘You will not let Your Holy One see decay.’
This quotation is from Psalm 16:10, and it is pivotal in Paul's argument about the resurrection of Jesus. The term "Your Holy One" is understood to refer to the Messiah, the anointed one of God. In Hebrew, the word for "Holy One" is "חָסִיד" (chasid), which conveys a sense of piety and devotion. The promise that the Holy One will not "see decay" is interpreted as a prophecy of the resurrection. In the historical context, decay or corruption was the natural end for all human beings after death. However, the resurrection of Jesus is presented as a divine intervention, a fulfillment of this promise, demonstrating His victory over death and His divine nature. This assertion is central to Christian faith, as it affirms the belief in life after death and the hope of resurrection for all believers. By using this Psalm, Paul is not only affirming Jesus' messianic identity but also offering hope and assurance of eternal life to his listeners.

(35) Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.--See Notes on the prophecy so cited in Acts 2:25-31.

Verse 35. - Because for wherefore, A.V. and T.R.; thou wilt not give for thou shalt not suffer, A.V. (see Acts 2:27, note); thy for thine, A.V. It is remarkable that St. Peter and St. Paul should both quote this sixteenth psalm, and use precisely the same argument.
