Verse 28
David ended this psalm by rejoicing that, in spite of his adversaries, God would spare his life and enable him to enjoy God’s presence in the future. Peter interpreted these statements as referring to Jesus entering into new life following His resurrection and into God’s presence following His ascension.
"Peter quotes from Psalms 16, not to teach that Christ is on the Davidic throne, but rather to show that David predicted the resurrection and enthronement of Christ after His death. The enthronement on David’s throne is a yet-future event while the enthronement at His Father’s right hand is an accomplished fact." [Note: Pentecost, pp. 273.]
