'Soul' in the Bible

“Why is light given to him who suffers,And life to the bitter of soul,

“My soul refuses to touch them;They are like loathsome food to me.

“Therefore I will not restrain my mouth;I will speak in the anguish of my spirit,I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

So that my soul would choose suffocation,Death rather than my pains.

“I loathe my own life;I will give full vent to my complaint;I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

While another dies with a bitter soul,Never even tasting anything good.

“But He is unique and who can turn Him?And what His soul desires, that He does.

“As God lives, who has taken away my right,And the Almighty, who has embittered my soul,

“And now my soul is poured out within me;Days of affliction have seized me.

“Have I not wept for the one whose life is hard?Was not my soul grieved for the needy?

He keeps back his soul from the pit,And his life from passing over into Sheol.

So that his life loathes bread,And his soul favorite food.

“Then his soul draws near to the pit,And his life to those who bring death.

‘He has redeemed my soul from going to the pit,And my life shall see the light.’

To bring back his soul from the pit,That he may be enlightened with the light of life.
