Peter is speaking of Psalm 16:8-11. The point he was making is since King David had been buried and had not come back to life, his psalm had to be speaking of someone else - David's heir. Peter was now pointing out that this heir was Jesus Christ, who was put to death, placed in the grave (Hades) but resurrected (did not see corruption). Reading a bit further we see Peter continuing to quote David via Psalm 110:1 telling the crowd that it is Jesus who now sits at the right hand of God.

Jesus is the only 'man' to ascend into Heaven (John 3:13) while all others are sleeping along with King David awaiting His 2nd Coming to initiate the Judgement Process. As Peter concludes, Jesus, the One who was crucified, is both Lord and Christ. Peter's argument is irrefutable and the crowd was 'cut to the heart.'
