ExplanationCommentary
Verse 13. That thou mayst protect me in hell. That is, in the state of the dead; an din the place where souls are kept waiting for their Redeemer; ( Challoner.) and in the grave, where the body awaits the resurrection. Bible.—These words are repeated in the office of the dead, in the name of the souls in purgatory. Carthus. a. 34.—They are adduced in proof of limbo. But sheol denotes also “the grave.” Amama.—What then? The soul is not confined there. It must consequently be explained of the lower receptacle for souls, as well as of the grave. Bible.
Sheol is the place of the dead.
