Acts 2:25-28

Good News Translation

‘I saw the Lord before me at all times;
    he is near me, and I will not be troubled.
²⁶ And so I am filled with gladness,
    and my words are full of joy.
And I, mortal though I am,
    will rest assured in hope,
²⁷ because you will not abandon me in the world of the dead;
    you will not allow your faithful servant to rot in the grave.
²⁸ You have shown me the paths that lead to life,
    and your presence will fill me with joy.’
