uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Paul assumes that his listeners will know that by another place, he means another place in the Scriptures. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [in another place in the Scriptures]

καὶ & λέγει

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Διότι καί ἐν ἑτέρῳ λέγει Οὒ δώσεις τόν Ὅσιον σοῦ ἰδεῖν διαφθοράν)

Even though David is the author of Psalm 16, from which this quotation is taken, the pronoun he refers to God, as in 13:34. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [God also says]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν Ὅσιόν σου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Διότι καί ἐν ἑτέρῳ λέγει Οὒ δώσεις τόν Ὅσιον σοῦ ἰδεῖν διαφθοράν)

This is a Messianic prophecy, and the Messiah is referring to himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the first person in your translation. Alternate translation: [me, your Holy One] or [me, the Messiah]
