'Soul' in the Bible

Many say of my soul, There is no salvation for him in God. Selah.

And my soul trembleth exceedingly: and thou, Jehovah, till how long?

Return, Jehovah, free my soul; save me for thy loving-kindness' sake.

Lest he tear my soul like a lion, crushing it while there is no deliverer.

Let the enemy pursue after my soul, and take it, and let him tread down my life to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. Selah.

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} In Jehovah have I put my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?

Jehovah trieth the righteous one; but the wicked, and him that loveth violence, his soul hateth.

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, with sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

Thou my soul hast said to Jehovah, Thou art the Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee; --

For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol, neither wilt thou allow thy Holy One to see corruption.

Arise, Jehovah, anticipate him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, thy sword;

The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple;

Deliver my soul from the sword; my only one from the power of the dog;

All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship; all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him, and he that cannot keep alive his own soul.

He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

He that hath blameless hands and a pure heart; who lifteth not up his soul unto vanity, nor sweareth deceitfully:

{A Psalm of David.} Unto thee, Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.

His soul shall dwell in prosperity, and his seed shall inherit the earth.

Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I trust in thee.

Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood;

Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol, thou hast quickened me from among those that go down to the pit.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy loving-kindness, for thou hast seen mine affliction; thou hast known the troubles of my soul,

Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am in trouble: mine eye wasteth away with vexation, my soul and my belly.

To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

Our soul waiteth for Jehovah: he is our help and our shield.

My soul shall make its boast in Jehovah: the meek shall hear, and rejoice.

Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants; and none of them that trust in him shall bear guilt.

And draw out the spear, and stop the way against my pursuers: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.

For without cause have they hidden for me their net in a pit; without cause they have digged it for my soul.

And my soul shall be joyful in Jehovah; it shall rejoice in his salvation.

They reward me evil for good, to the bereavement of my soul.

But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth; I chastened my soul with fasting, and my prayer returned into mine own bosom:

Lord, how long wilt thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, my only one from the young lions.

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;

As for me, I said, Jehovah, be gracious unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

{To the chief Musician. An instruction; of the sons of Korah.} As the hart panteth after the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?

These things I remember and have poured out my soul within me: how I passed along with the multitude, how I went on with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a festive multitude.

Why art thou cast down, my soul, and art disquieted in me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, for the health of his countenance.

My God, my soul is cast down within me; therefore do I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, and the Hermons, from mount Mizar.

Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our belly cleaveth unto the earth.

(For the redemption of their soul is costly, and must be given up for ever,)

But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol: for he will receive me. Selah.

Though he blessed his soul in his lifetime, and men will praise thee when thou doest well to thyself, --

Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is among them that uphold my soul.

He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle against me: for there were many about me.

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves; they mark my steps, because they wait for my soul.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death; wilt thou not keep my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

{To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam; when he fled from Saul in the cave.} Be gracious unto me, O God, be gracious unto me; for my soul taketh refuge in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings do I take refuge, until the calamities be overpast.

My soul is in the midst of lions; I lie down among them that breathe out flames, the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul was bowed down: they have digged a pit before me; they are fallen into the midst thereof. Selah.

For behold, they lie in wait for my soul; strong ones are gathered against me: not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.

{To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.} Upon God alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is my salvation.

Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him.

{A Psalm of David; when he was in the wilderness of Judah.} O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee. My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh languisheth for thee, in a dry and weary land without water:

My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.

My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth;

Who hath set our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.

Come, hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

{To the chief Musician. Upon Shoshannim. A Psalm of David.} Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.

And I wept, my soul was fasting: that also was to my reproach; --

Draw nigh unto my soul, be its redeemer; ransom me because of mine enemies.

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;

For mine enemies speak against me, and they that watch for my soul consult together,

Let them be ashamed, let them be consumed, that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.

My lips shall exult when I sing psalms unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

Give not up the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast; forget not the troop of thine afflicted for ever.

In the day of my trouble, I sought the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; my soul refused to be comforted.

He made a way for his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;

My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

Keep my soul, for I am godly; O thou my God, save thy servant who confideth in thee.

Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, Lord, do I lift up my soul.

For great is thy loving-kindness toward me, and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assembly of the violent seek after my soul, and they have not set thee before them.

For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draweth nigh to Sheol.

Why, O Jehovah, castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?

What man liveth, and shall not see death? Shall he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah.

If Jehovah had not been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.

In the multitude of my anxious thoughts within me thy comforts have delighted my soul.

They band together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.

{A Psalm of David.} Bless Jehovah, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name!

Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

Bless Jehovah, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless Jehovah, O my soul!

Bless Jehovah, O my soul! Jehovah my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with majesty and splendour;

Sinners shall be consumed out of the earth, and the wicked shall be no more. Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Hallelujah!

They afflicted his feet with fetters; his soul came into irons;

Then he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.

Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them:

For he hath satisfied the longing soul and filled the hungry soul with good.

Their soul abhorreth all manner of food, and they draw near unto the gates of death:

They mount up to the heavens, they go down to the depths; their soul is melted because of trouble;

Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

For he standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those that judge his soul.

Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: I beseech thee, Jehovah, deliver my soul.

Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, my feet from falling.

My soul breaketh for longing after thy judgments at all times.
