Psalms 49:15 - John Wesley's Notes

Psalms 49:15

13 This is the way of those who are ^afoolish,
And of their posterity who approve their sayings. Selah

14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave;
Death shall feed on them;
^aThe upright shall have dominion over them in the morning;
^bAnd their beauty shall be consumed in¹ the grave, far from their dwelling.

15 But God ^awill redeem my soul from the power of¹ the grave,
For He shall ^breceive me. Selah

16 Do not be afraid when one becomes rich,
When the glory of his house is increased;

17 For when he dies he shall carry nothing away;
His glory shall not descend after him.

Psalms 49:15

God - Tho' no man can find out a ransom to redeem himself, yet God can and will redeem me. The grave - The grave shall not have power to retain me, but shall be forced to give me up into my father's hands. Receive - Into heaven.
