Contextual Overview

¹⁴ They went on from Perga and arrived in Antioch in Pisidia, and on the Sabbath they went into the synagogue and sat down. ¹⁵ After the reading from the Law of Moses and from the writings of the prophets, the officials of the synagogue sent them a message: "Friends, we want you to speak to the people if you have a message of encouragement for them." ¹⁶ Paul stood up, motioned with his hand, and began to speak: "Fellow Israelites and all Gentiles here who worship God: hear me! ¹⁷ The God of the people of Israel chose our ancestors and made the people a great nation during the time they lived as foreigners in Egypt. God brought them out of Egypt by his great power, ¹⁸ and for forty years he endured them in the desert. ¹⁹ He destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan and made his people the owners of the land. ²⁰ All of this took about 450 years. "After this he gave them judges until the time of the prophet Samuel. ²¹ And when they asked for a king, God gave them Saul son of Kish from the tribe of Benjamin, to be their king for forty years. ²² After removing him, God made David their king. This is what God said about him: ‘I have found that David son of Jesse is the kind of man I like, a man who will do all I want him to do.' ²³ It was Jesus, a descendant of David, whom God made the Savior of the people of Israel, as he had promised.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But he whom God raised again,.... The Vulgate Latin version adds, "from the dead"; meaning the Lord Jesus Christ, who was raised from the dead by God the Father: and

saw no corruption; he did not lie so long in the grave as to corrupt and putrefy, but was raised from the dead the third day; wherefore the passage, before cited, is very applicable to him, and is a clear proof that the Messiah was to rise from the dead, as Jesus did.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

But he, whom God raised again - The Lord Jesus.

Saw no corruption - Was raised without undergoing the usual change that succeeds death. As David had returned to corruption, and the Lord Jesus had not, it followed that this passage in Psalms 16:1-11 referred to the Messiah.
