30But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that He would place one of his descendants on his throne.31Foreseeing this, David spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay.32God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.

You see, God told David something that will happen later, so David wrote that message for us. That message was about the Christ, the special man that God was going to send, and it tells us that God was going to make him alive again. It tells us that God was not going to leave him in the grave, or let his body rot away.
