This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
25. Δαυεὶδ κ.τ.λ. The passage which St Peter quotes is from Psa 16:8-11, and he argues that it could not be of himself that the Psalmist there spake, for they had evidence that the words could not be truly said of him. But having regard to God’s promise David spake of Him who was to be born from his line, as identified with himself. St Peter’s quotation is from the LXX.
εἰς αὐτόν, in reference to him. The preposition indicates the direction of the thoughts of him who spoke. Cf. Winer-Moulton, p. 495.
προορώμην. The πρὸ is used here as a strengthening of the following ἐνώπιόν μου, and in the same sense. The foresaw of A.V. is equal to no more than saw. The Hebrew text would be rendered, I set.
