Acts 13:32-40 has three references to Psalms being fulfilled in the person of Jesus.

Quote:

And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers, God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm,

Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise,

I will give you the sure mercies of David.

Wherefore he saith also in another psalm,

Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption: But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption. Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

As per the writer of Acts, many Jews rejected the message that these references in Psalms was referring to Jesus. The writer then refers to another OT writing to claim that this unbelief on the part of certain Jews is also in fulfillment of scripture.

Quote:

See, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish, because a work I -- I do work in your days, a work in which ye may not believe, though any one may declare it to you.'
Acts 13:41

Jews rejected this interpretation, yes, but there is no indication given that the interpretation is a distortion of the text. That's what one needs to see, with reasoning.
