Psalm 49:15
But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah. (Psalm 49:15)
My soul.
 “Me” (see on Ps. 16:10).
From the power of the grave.
 Literally, “from the hand of she’ol (see on Prov. 15:11), a vivid personification.
He shall receive me.
 Better, “He shall receive me for Himself.” In this short clause, all the more powerful because of its brevity, is a suggestion of the doctrine of a future life and the resurrection from the dead (see PK 264). In Gen. 5:24 another form of the same verb describes the translation of Enoch (see 2 Kings 2:10).
Selah.
