"For you will not leave my soul among the dead
or allow your holy one to rot in the grave.
You will show me the way of life,
granting me the joy of your presence
and the pleasures of living with you forever."
or allow your holy one to rot in the grave.

God has shown the way of life—Jesus, the one for whom verse 10 was true. God did not leave him to rot in the grave—he raised him from the dead! And Jesus is present with us every moment. His presence brings the quality of the eternal to our lives right now, and it is a foretaste of the pleasure of eternal life. These verses were fulfilled in Jesus, and they are true for our lives today. All we need to do is grab hold of their truth and live as if they're true.
