Exegesis
The subordinating conjunction hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} introduces a causal clause: ek dexiōn mou estin {ἐκ δεξιῶν μού ἐστιν | ek dek-si-ôn moú é-stin} ‘because He is at my right hand’. The preposition ek with the genitive dexiōn is an idiomatic locative expression for a position of honor and protective support “at the right hand.” The verb estin supplies the present reality that undergirds David’s confidence.
In context — Acts 2:25
For David says concerning Him: “I saw the Lord always before me, because He is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken .”
