Soul

And his soul was drawn to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob. He loved the young girl and spoke to her tenderly.

For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for your souls upon the altar; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.

And I will make My dwelling place among you, and My soul will not despise you.

I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and heap your lifeless bodies on the lifeless remains of your idols; and My soul will despise you.

But if from there you will seek the LORD your God, you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God by walking in all His ways, to love Him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

So if you carefully obey the commandments I am giving you today, to love the LORD your God and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,

…you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. For the LORD your God is testing you to find out whether you love Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

The LORD your God commands you this day to follow these statutes and ordinances. You must be careful to follow them with all your heart and with all your soul.

Among those nations you will find no repose, not even a resting place for the sole of your foot. There the LORD will give you a trembling heart, failing eyes, and a despairing soul.

…and when you and your children return to the LORD your God and obey His voice with all your heart and all your soul according to everything I am giving you today,

The LORD your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, and you will love Him with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live.

…if you obey the LORD your God by keeping His commandments and statutes that are written in this Book of the Law, and if you turn to Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

But be very careful to observe the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you: to love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”

Now behold, today I am going the way of all the earth, and you know with all your heart and soul that not one of the good promises the LORD your God made to you has failed. Everything was fulfilled for you; not one promise has failed.

The River Kishon swept them away, the ancient river, the River Kishon. March on, O my soul, in strength!

“No, my lord,” Hannah replied. “I am a woman troubled in spirit. I have not had any wine or strong drink, but I have poured out my soul before the LORD.

His armor-bearer replied, “Do all that is in your heart. Go ahead; I am with you heart and soul.”

Now, O king, come down whenever your soul desires, and we will be responsible for delivering him into your hand.”

And David was greatly distressed because the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of every man grieved for his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the LORD his God.

Uriah answered, “The ark and Israel and Judah are dwelling in tents, and my master Joab and his soldiers are camped in the open field. How can I go to my house to eat and drink and sleep with my wife? As surely as you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do such a thing!”

…and so that the LORD may fulfill His promise to me: ‘If your descendants take heed to walk faithfully before Me with all their heart and soul, you will never fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.’

…and when they return to You with all their heart and soul in the land of the enemies who took them captive, and when they pray to You in the direction of the land that You gave to their fathers, the city You have chosen, and the house I have built for Your Name,

When she reached the man of God at the mountain, she clung to his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for her soul is in deep distress, and the LORD has hidden it from me and has not told me.”

So the king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the LORD to follow the LORD and to keep His commandments, decrees, and statutes with all his heart and all his soul, and to carry out the words of the covenant that were written in this book. And all the people entered into the covenant.

Neither before nor after Josiah was there any king like him, who turned to the LORD with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength, according to all the Law of Moses.

Now set your heart and soul to seek the LORD your God. Begin building the sanctuary of the LORD God, so that you may bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD and the holy articles of God into the temple that will be built for the Name of the LORD.”

…and when they return to You with all their heart and soul in the land of the enemies who took them captive, and when they pray in the direction of the land that You gave to their fathers, the city You have chosen, and the house I have built for Your Name,

Then they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul.

So the king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the LORD to follow the LORD and to keep His commandments, decrees, and statutes with all his heart and all his soul, and to carry out the words of the covenant that were written in this book.

Why is light given to the miserable, and life to the bitter of soul,

My soul refuses to touch them; they are 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.

“I loathe my own life; I will express my complaint and speak in the bitterness of my soul.

Yet another man dies in the bitterness of his soul, having never tasted prosperity.

“As surely as God lives, who has deprived me of justice—the Almighty, who has embittered my soul—

And now my soul is poured out within me; days of affliction grip me.

Have I not wept for those in trouble? Has my soul not grieved for the needy?

…to preserve his soul from the Pit and his life from perishing by the sword.

…so that he detests his bread, and his soul loathes his favorite food.

He redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit, and I will live to see the light.’

…to bring back his soul from the Pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of life.

My soul is deeply distressed. How long, O LORD, how long?

Turn, O LORD, and deliver my soul; save me because of Your loving devotion.

…or they will shred my soul like a lion and tear me to pieces with no one to rescue me.

The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked; His soul hates the lover of violence.

How long must I wrestle in my soul, with sorrow in my heart each day? How long will my enemy dominate me?

For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.

The Law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy, making wise the simple.

Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of wild dogs.

He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of His name.

He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear deceitfully.

Of David. To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul;

His soul will dwell in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.

Guard my soul and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in You.

Do not take my soul away with sinners, or my life with men of bloodshed,

I will be glad and rejoice in Your loving devotion, for You have seen my affliction; You have known the anguish of my soul.

Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes fail from sorrow, my soul and body as well.

Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.

My soul boasts in the LORD; let the oppressed hear and rejoice.

Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers; say to my soul: “I am your salvation.”

For without cause they laid their net for me; without reason they dug a pit for my soul.

Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD and exult in His salvation.

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

How long, O Lord, will You look on? Rescue my soul from their ravages, my precious life from these lions.

For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul longs after You, O God.

My soul thirsts for God, the living God. When shall I come and appear in God’s presence?

These things come to mind as I pour out my soul: how I walked with the multitude, leading the festive procession to the house of God with shouts of joy and praise.

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him for the salvation of His presence.

O my God, my soul despairs within me. Therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan and the peaks of Hermon—even from Mount Mizar.

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.

For our soul has sunk to the dust; our bodies cling to the earth.

For the redemption of his soul is costly, and never can payment suffice,

Though in his lifetime he blesses his soul—and men praise you when you prosper—

Surely God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.

He redeems my soul in peace from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me.

For You have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.

For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when he fled from Saul into the cave. Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy, for in You my soul takes refuge. In the shadow of Your wings I will take shelter until the danger has passed.

My soul is among the lions; I lie down with ravenous beasts—with men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.

They spread a net for my feet; my soul was despondent. They dug a pit before me, but they themselves have fallen into it! Selah

For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him.

Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him.

A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah. O God, You are my God. Earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You. My body yearns for You in a dry and weary land without water.

My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods; with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.

My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.

Draw near to my soul and redeem me; ransom me because of my foes.

May the accusers of my soul be ashamed and consumed; may those who seek my harm be covered with scorn and disgrace.

When I sing praise to You my lips will shout for joy, along with my soul, which You have redeemed.

Do not deliver the soul of Your dove to beasts; do not forget the lives of Your afflicted forever.

In the day of trouble I sought the Lord; through the night my outstretched hands did not grow weary; my soul refused to be comforted.

My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You are my God; save Your servant who trusts in You.

Bring joy to Your servant, for to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol.

What man can live and never see death? Can he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah

When anxiety overwhelms me, Your consolation delights my soul.

Of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul; all that is within me, bless His holy name.

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds—
