Psalm 49

Is there any hope among the dead? The answer of this psalm seems to say, "No." But the words of hope in verse 15 stand in contrast to the despair of the rest of the psalm. ". . .certainly, he will pull me to safety." Those who lacked a clear understanding of the coming resurrection still believed that God still held sway over the grave. We are witnesses of his power in greater measures. Christians should hold an even greater confidence in God's power over the grave.
