Bible Comments

But God will redeem my soul Though no man can find out a ransom to redeem himself or his brother, yet God can and will redeem me; from the power of the grave Or, shall preserve me from the power of hell. The grave shall not have power to retain me, but shall be forced to give me up into my Father's hands; and hell shall have no power to seize upon me. For he shall receive me Hebrew, יקחני, jikacheeni, shall take me, out of this vain, mortal, and miserable life, unto himself, or into heaven, as this phrase is used Genesis 5:24; Psalms 73:24; Acts 7:59.
