Exegesis
The verse opens with the nominative participial clause prophētēs oun hyparchōn {προφήτης οὖν ὑπάρχων | prophḗtēs oûn hypárchōn} ‘therefore being a prophet,’ which foregrounds the subject’s (David’s) prophetic identity as the basis for what follows.
In context — Acts 2:30
Therefore, being a prophet and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath to seat one from the fruit of his loins upon his throne.
