'Decay' in the Bible

For you will not abandon my soul to Hades or allow your Holy One to experience decay.

he looked ahead and spoke about the resurrection of the Messiah: "He was not abandoned to Hades, and his flesh did not experience decay.'

God raised him from the dead, never to experience decay, as he said, "I'll give you the holy promises made to David.'

In another Psalm he says, "You will not let your Holy One experience decay.'

Now David, after he had served God's purpose in his own generation, died and was buried with his ancestors, and so he experienced decay.

However, the man whom God raised did not experience decay.
