Sixteenth Psalm's Prophecy of Christ

Psalm 16:10 - For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

Christ is God's "Holy One", not David the psalmist.  This verse quoted in New Testament to prove Resurrection of Christ: Acts 2:27-31; Acts 13:35-38.  Since David's body saw corruption, apostles proved this verse a prophecy of Christ.

"Hell" - the unseen place of the dead, corresponding to the Greek "hades."  Jesus spent 3 days in the Paradise / Abraham's bosom side of hades.  His soul was not left there, neither did His body see corruption.

Additional study on hades - Luke 16:19-31.  On Christ's time there: Luke 23:42-43; I Peter 3:18-20.  Christ emptied the Paradise side ("led captivity captive") at His ascension: Ephesians 4:7-10.
