35 Therefore he also says in another psalm, ‘You will not permit your Holy One to experience decay.’
35 Wherefore also he says in anotherD7830, Thou wilt not suffer thy gracious oneD7831 to see corruption.
another - See Ps. 16.10. one - 'Mercies' and 'gracious one' (Hosios) are the same word, only singular and plural. It may, and sometimes does, mean 'holy,' but is not the regular word for it, which is Hagios. here it answers to chasid in Hebrew, which is contrasted in Ps. 89.19 with 'holy' (kadosh), which is applied to Jehovah (ver. 18). The beginning of the psalm speaks of the mercies (chasadim) or gracious ways of the Lord, and then in ver. 19 of that One in whom these graces or mercies are centred and conveyed, the Christ, to whom the apostle here applies it. The word chesed is generally 'grace' and 'loving-kindness' in God; chasid, 'pious,' 'gracious' applied to men, and 'merciful,' 'holy' to God. see Heb. 7.26.
35 Wherefore he saith also in another [psalm], Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
