The psalm concludes with an affirmation that the LORD redeems the soul of his servants, and those who take refuge in him will not be condemned. The verb "redeems" suggests the payment of ransom and the restoration to freedom. The reference to "servants of the LORD" identifies those who acknowledge God's authority. The promise that those who take refuge in God ''will not be condemned'' reiterates the central assurance. The closing benediction transforms the entire psalm into a celebration of God's redemptive and protective action toward the faithful.
