John Trapp on Psalms 49:15

Verſ. 15. But God will redeem my ſoul from the power of the grave] Heb. From the hand of Hell, q.d. I am, and ſhall be in far better condition both in life, at death,Spe bona Do[illegible: 1 letter] ab indoctis di[illegible: 1 letter] forunt, disis[illegible: 1 letter] Chilo. and after death, than any of the Worlds darlings: why then ſhould I fear, as verſ. 51. why ſhould I envie their ſeeming happineſs, which will have ſo ſad a Cataſtrophe, as verſ. 14? I ſhall have heaven, and that is more worth than all.

For he ſhall receive me; Selah] A notable Text indeed, and well worthy of a Selah: a clear teſtimony for the immortality of the ſoul, and for a better life after this, as is well obſerved. He ſunt parabola, & hac ſunt anigmasa, ſaith a good Interpreter. Theſe are thoſe Parables, and theſe are thoſe dark ſayings, mentioned verſ. 4. riddles to the wicked, but cordials to the faithful.
