Ps 49:15

49:15 God will ransom my soul from . . . Sheol. While God does not accept a ransom for death (v. 7), He provides one for the psalmist. The key to this Old Testament awareness of redemption from death is recognition of the eternity of God and of His eternal relationship with His people: “he will receive me.” See Mark 12:26, 27.
