Exegesis
The verse begins with the explanatory clause Dauid gar legei eis auton {Δαυὶδ γὰρ λέγει εἰς αὐτόν | Dauíd gàr lé-gei eis au-tón} ‘for David says concerning Him’, where the postpositive gar links this citation to the preceding argument and the preposition eis with the accusative pronoun auton conveys reference ‘about Him’. This narrative frame introduces a first-person quotation drawn from David.
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 .”
