David, in distrust of merits, and hatred of idolatry5. He shows the hope of his calling, of the resurrection, and life everlasting For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol This phrase reflects a profound trust in God's faithfulness and protection. The Hebrew word "Sheol" refers to the realm of the dead, a place of darkness and separation from the living. In the context of ancient Israelite belief, Sheol was often seen as a shadowy existence, devoid of the presence of God. The psalmist, traditionally understood to be David, expresses confidence that God will not leave him in this state. This assurance is rooted in the covenant relationship between God and His people, where God promises to be their protector and deliverer. Theologically, this phrase foreshadows the Christian belief in the resurrection, where death is not the final word for those who trust in God. nor will You let Your Holy One see decay In hell.--Better, to the unseen world (Sheol), as in Psalm 6:5, where see Note. Holy One.--Better, thy chosen, or favoured, or beloved One. Heb., chasid, which, starting from the idea of one standing in a state of covenant favour with Jehovah, gathers naturally, to this passive sense, an active one of living conformably to such a state; "gracious" as well as "graced," "blessing" as well as "blessed;" and so generally as in Authorised Version, "saint," "holy" (see Psalm 4:3; Psalm 145:17, and especially Psalm 1:5, "My saints, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.") The received Heb. text has the word in the plural, but with the marginal note that the sign of the plural is superfluous. The weight of MS. authority of all the ancient versions, and of the quotations Acts 2:27; Acts 13:35, is for the singular. . . . Verse 10. - For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; literally, to Sheol, or "to Hades." The confidence in a future life shown here is beyond that exhibited by Job. Job hopes that he may not always remain in Hades, but may one day experience a "change" or "renewal" (Job 14:14); David is certain that his soul will not be left in hell. Hell (Sheol) is to him an "intermediate state," through which a man passes between his life in this world and his final condition in some blest abode. Neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. The present Hebrew text has חסידיך, "thy holy ones," i.e. thy saints generally; but the majority, of the manuscripts, all the ancient versions, and even the Hebrew revised text (the Keri) have the word in the singular number, thus agreeing with Acts 2:27, 31; Acts 13:35, which give us the translation, τὸν ὄσιον σου, and declare the psalmist to have spoken determinately of Christ. Certainly he would not have spoken of himself as "God's holy one." The translation of shachath (שָׁחַת) by "corruption" has been questioned, and it has been rendered "the pit," or "the grave," but quite gratuitously. The LXX. have διαφθορὰν as the equivalent; and the rabbinical commentators, giving it the same meaning, but expounding it of David, invented the myth that David's body was miraculously preserved from corruption.Parallel Commentaries ...
