Hell Terminology (Sheol/Hades/Gehenna/Lake of Fire)Sheol / The Grave

“For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.”

I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
