"But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for He shall receive me." Psalm 49:15
I wonder if King David knew the weight of his own words. It seems like it would have taken an immense amount of faith, or divine insight, to make a such a statement. At this point in time, there was no revealed hope that Christ would one day die and be resurrected, redeeming the soul of mankind from hell. However, David had a close relationship with the Lord, and was able to claim a coming promise, in confidence. In reading this, I don't doubt it that he is called the "man after God's own heart." Talk about faith.
