Question for jehovah's witness

In Psalms 86:13 it says the person is glad they are not going to the lowest hell. But why worry about how low the grave is that you could be put in?:confused:

Seriously Frank?

"for your love for me is very great. You have rescued me from the depths of death." (NLT)

"For Your faithful love for me is great, and You deliver my life from the depths of Sheol." (HCSB)

"For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths, from the realm of the dead." (NIV)

"For your loyal love toward me is great,
And you have saved my life from the depths of the Grave." (NWT)

Do these translations make more sense? Please look up scriptures in different translations and you will not need to keep posting these questions.

'Glad they are Not going to biblical hell (grave)' because as the psalmist says at Psalms 116:8 delivered from death.
This is what faithful Job believed at Job 33:28.
Since Sheol (Hebrew for grave KJV translated into English as hell) can include those who drowned at sea.
Those buried at sea I suppose could be considered as being in the lowest place ( watery grave ).
The Hebrew Tanach Bible at Psalms 86:13 says ' nethermost depth ' and that is as the sea or ocean would be.
So, No reason to worry because Jesus' voice will be LOUD when the dead will hear his voice.- John 11:43

A person can get no lower than death in Sheol. (And still be "delivered" by Jehovah, that is.) Wouldn't you think?

One could consider that Gehenna is lower, but there's no deliverance from there.
