'Life' in the Bible

Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth, And lay my glory in the dust. Selah

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

From men by thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, whose portion is in this life, And whose belly thou fillest with thy treasure: They are satisfied with children, And leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him, Even length of days for ever and ever.

Surely goodness and lovingkindness shall follow me all the days of my life; And I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah for ever.

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

Jehovah is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?

One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after; That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of Jehovah, And to inquire in his temple.

For my life is spent with sorrow, And my years with sighing: My strength faileth because of mine iniquity, And my bones are wasted away.

For I have heard the defaming of many, Terror on every side: While they took counsel together against me, They devised to take away my life.

What man is he that desireth life, And loveth many days, that he may see good?

For with thee is the fountain of life: In thy light shall we see light.

They also that seek after my life lay snares for me ; And they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, And meditate deceits all the day long.

Yet Jehovah will command his lovingkindness in the day-time; And in the night his song shall be with me, Even a prayer unto the God of my life.

(For the redemption of their life is costly, And it faileth for ever;)

Thou wilt prolong the king's life; His years shall be as many generations.

Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise thee.

Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

Who holdeth our soul in life, And suffereth not our feet to be moved.

Let them be blotted out of the book of life, And not be written with the righteous.

Oh deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast: Forget not the life of thy poor for ever.

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

For my soul is full of troubles, And my life draweth nigh unto Sheol.

With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

Jehovah bless thee out of Zion: And see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

Like the dew of Hermon, That cometh down upon the mountains of Zion: For there Jehovah commanded the blessing, Even life for evermore.

For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; He hath smitten my life down to the ground: He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.
