NOT ABANDON ME TO THE GRAVE / PSALMS 16:9-10

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Psalms 16:9-10

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. 10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

NOT ABANDON ME TO THE GRAVE / PSALMS 16:9-10

A personal relationship with God gives people the confidence of a future life with God and the certainty that He will not abandon them in death (Hebrew Sheol; Psalms 73:26). The apostles (pioneer leaders in the early church) Peter and Paul applied this verse to Christ and His resurrection (Acts 2:25-31; 13:34-37). 

  1. Sheol, found 66 times in the Old Testament, is translated 55 times as “the grave” and 6 times as “death.”
  2. In general, the Old Testament views Sheol as a place associated with some sort of punishment. (a) When Jacob indicated that he would go down to the grave (Sheol) because of the loss of his son, Joseph (Genesis 37:35), he felt he must be under God’s judgment. That is why he refused to be comforted. There is no evidence that he tried to make any other request to God until after he heard that Joseph was still alive. (b) David clearly indicated that the grave (Sheol) was the place where “the wicked” would go (Psalms 9:17). Isaiah said that the ungodly king Tiglath-Pileser of Assyria, when he died, would join the kings he conquered in that terrible place (Isaiah 14:9-10). (c) There are several passages that indicate the Israelites did not expect to go to Sheol when they died but would go where they could enjoy God’s presence. David anticipated that when he died, he would be living “in the house of the LORD forever” (Psalms 23:6). Another psalm writer believed that God would rescue his life from the grave (Sheol) and take him to heaven (Psalms 49:15; 73:14-15). And Solomon testified that the path of a wise, God-fearing person leads upward “to keep him from going down to the grave” (Proverbs 15:24).
