“He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.”
Seeing what was to come, he spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that he was not abandoned to the realm of the dead, nor did his body see decay. — Peter's typological reading sees David's psalm as prophetic of the Messiah (christos, anointed one). The resurrection is the key fulfillment; David's confident faith in Psalm 16 finds its justification in Jesus' resurrection. The double negative (ou kataleiphthē, not abandoned; ou idoiē, not see) emphasizes the absolute nature of resurrection vindication.
