Exegesis
The infinitive idein {ἰδεῖν | i-deîn} ‘to see’ functions as a complementary infinitive expressing the prevented experience, and diaphthoran {διαφθοράν | di-a-phtho-rán} ‘corruption, decay’ specifies physical decomposition, a key term in resurrection argumentation. In translation, the causal linkage (“Because / This is why”) and the future negation (“will not permit / will not allow”) are preserved to maintain the logical force, while “psalm” is supplied in both renderings to make the elliptical en heterō explicit for modern readers.
