mercies."Gr. [ta hosios ,] holy, or just, things; which word the LXX., both in the place of Isa 55:3, and in many others, use for that which is in the Heb. mercies."

J. N. Darby Translation

But that he raised him from among the dead, no more to return to corruption, he spoke thuse: I will give to you the faithful merciesf of David.

JND Translation Notes

See Isa. 55.3.
"Mercies" and "gracious one" (Hosios) are the same word, only singular and plural. It may, and sometimes does, mean "holy," but is not the regular word for it, which is Hagios. here it answers to chasid in Hebrew, which is contrasted in Ps. 89.19 with "holy" (kadosh), which is applied to Jehovah (ver. 18). The beginning of the psalm speaks of the mercies (chasadim) or gracious ways of the Lord, and then in ver. 19 of that One in whom these graces or mercies are centred and conveyed, the Christ, to whom the apostle here applies it. The word chesed is generally "grace" and "loving-kindness" in God; chasid, "pious," "gracious" applied to men, and "merciful," "holy" to God. see Heb. 7.26.

W. Kelly Translation

a}But that he raised him from [the] dead, no more to return unto corruption, he hath spoken thus, I will give you the faithful mercies of David;

WK Translation Notes

^ no more: It has also been noticed that the addition of 'now' in the English Version of verse 34 is not only needless but misleading, as it might imply a previous turn to corruption. Here too Tyndale misled all the public Protestant versions since his day, even to the Revised one. (Exp. of Acts, p.190)
