All Israel who were around them fled at their outcry, for they said, “The earth may swallow us up!”

Now there was an evil spirit from the Lord on Saul as he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand, and David was playing the harp with his hand.

Then David said, “O Lord God of Israel, Your servant has heard for certain that Saul is seeking to come to Keilah to destroy the city on my account.

when one told me, saying, ‘Behold, Saul is dead,’ and thought he was bringing good news, I seized him and killed him in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news.

Now there was a servant of the house of Saul whose name was Ziba, and they called him to David; and the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?” And he said, “I am your servant.”

When King David came to Bahurim, behold, there came out from there a man of the family of the house of Saul whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera; he came out cursing continually as he came.

When she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to push her away; but the man of God said, “Let her alone, for her soul is troubled within her; and the Lord has hidden it from me and has not told me.”

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

And the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.

For the redemption of his soul is costly,
And he should cease trying forever—

My soul is among lions;
I must lie among those who breathe forth fire,
Even 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 is bowed down;
They dug a pit before me;
They themselves have fallen into the midst of it. Selah.

My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness,
And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.

My soul is crushed with longing
After Your ordinances at all times.

Our soul is greatly filled
With the scoffing of those who are at ease,
And with the contempt of the proud.

Like a weaned child rests against his mother,
My soul is like a weaned child within me.

If a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years, however many they be, but his soul is not satisfied with good things and he does not even have a proper burial, then I say, “Better the miscarriage than he,

He put on righteousness like a breastplate,
And a helmet of salvation on His head;
And He put on garments of vengeance for clothing
And wrapped Himself with zeal as a mantle.

“Behold, as for the proud one,
His soul is not right within him;
But the righteous will live by his faith.

“Behold, My Servant whom I have chosen;
My Beloved in whom My soul is well-pleased;
I will put My Spirit upon Him,
And He shall proclaim justice to the Gentiles.

Then He *said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me.”

And He *said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved to the point of death; remain here and keep watch.”
