Psalms 89:48

⁵By faith Enoch was taken away, so that he wouldn’t see death, and he was not found, because God translated him. For he has had testimony given to him that before his translation he had been well pleasing to God.

⁵For the living know that they will die, but the dead don’t know anything, neither do they have any more a reward; for their memory is forgotten.

¹⁵But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol,^[+] for he will receive me. Selah.

⁷and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

⁷none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him. ⁸For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough, ⁹that he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.

⁸There is no man who has power over the spirit to contain the spirit; neither does he have power over the day of death. There is no discharge in war; neither shall wickedness deliver those who practice it.

⁵¹Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.”

²³For I know that you will bring me to death, to the house appointed for all living.

²⁷because you will not leave my soul in Hades,^[+] neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.

²⁹All the rich ones of the earth shall eat and worship. All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him, even he who can’t keep his soul alive.
