plies to Christ words which in the
original psalm refer to the writer
of the psalm itself, as the omission
of the capitals in the Old Testa-
ment quotation is intended to in-
dicate. The word "holy" as used
in the psalm means "godly" or
"beloved." The terns implies lov-
ing loyalty. Tho application of
these words to Jesus us the Mes-
siah rather than to the psalmist
himself is justified by Peter him-
self in verse 29, w here he points out
the fact that certain things men-
tioned in the psalm were not true

the Christ --The application of the
psalmist's words to the resurrec-
tion of Jesus from the dead is hard-
ly warranted by the original mean-
ing of the psalm, which is primar-
ily a prayer for preservation from
death, and an expression of confi-
dence in Jehovah that this prayer
will he granted. Cont'erning this
