The statement that God will not abandon the speaker's soul to Sheol and will not let His holy one see decay establishes that divine relationship transcends death. The refusal to let the holy one see decay suggests that God preserves the faithful from the ultimate humiliation of decomposition and oblivion. The language suggests either miraculous preservation through death or eschatological resurrection. This verse introduces the ultimate security that faith provides: relationship with God that death cannot sever.
