What message about Jesus does Peter find in the Psalm 16:8-11 (Acts 2:25-33)?

What is the message about Jesus in Psalm 110:1 (Acts 2:34-36)?:confused:
 
Psalm 16:9-10 from the NRSV:
Therefore my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices;
my body also rests secure.
For you do not give me up to Sheol,
or let your faithful one see the Pit.

Looking at the second verse, verse 10: The faithful one here is Jesus. (Just like holy one and servant in the Psalms usually refers to the Messiah.) Although the faithful one (Christ) will die, God will not abandon him to Sheol or the Pit, both of which can be Hell or Death. Peter applies this to Christ’s Resurrection.

In the infamous NAB footnotes, we’re told that the Greek translation of this verse even more explicitly describes the Resurrection from the tomb: “Nor will you suffer your holy one to see corruption.”
 
Should this thread be moved to the Sacred Scripture subforum?
