Psalm 49:15-17

But God will redeem me from the realm of the dead; he will surely take me to himself. Do not be overawed when others grow rich, when the splendor of their houses increases; for they will take nothing with them when they die, their splendor will not descend with them. 

But God will redeem me from the realm of the dead 
Psalm 56:13  For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
Hosea 13:14  "I will deliver this people from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death. Where, O death, are your plagues? Where, O grave, is your destruction?"

he will surely take me to himself 
Genesis 5:24  Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.
2 Kings 2:1  When the LORD was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal.
2 Kings 2:11  As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.
Psalm 73:24  You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory.
Psalm 89:48  Who can live and not see death, or who can escape the power of the grave?
Hebrews 11:5  By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: "He could not be found, because God had taken him away." (Genesis 5:24) For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.

for they will take nothing with them when they die 
1 Timothy 6:7  For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.

their splendor will not descend with them 
Psalm 17:14  By your hand save me from such people, LORD, from those of this world whose reward is in this life. May what you have stored up for the wicked fill their bellies; may their children gorge themselves on it, and may there be leftovers for their little ones.
