The statement that the LORD will ransom Israel from the power of Sheol and redeem them from death, followed by the claim that death's plagues and Sheol's destruction will be shown, and that compassion will be hid from his eyes, contains a promise of rescue paired with a renunciation of pity. The reference to victory over death suggests restoration beyond judgment, suggesting that judgment itself will be overcome. The Christian interpretation sees this verse as prefiguring resurrection through Christ.
