'Self' in the Bible

Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel (Jacob), Your servants to whom You swore [an oath] by Yourself, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens, and all this land of which I have spoken I will give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever.’”

My soul [as well as my body] is greatly dismayed.But as for You, O Lord—how long [until You act on my behalf]?

Therefore my heart is glad and my glory [my innermost self] rejoices;My body too will dwell [confidently] in safety,

He refreshes and restores my soul (life);He leads me in the paths of righteousnessfor His name’s sake.

Be gracious and compassionate to me, O Lord, for I am in trouble;My eye is clouded and weakened by grief, my soul and my body also.

As for me, I said, “O Lord, be gracious to me;Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.”

My soul (my life, my inner self) thirsts for God, for the living God.When will I come and see the face of God?

Why are you in despair, O my soul?And why have you become restless and disturbed within me?Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall again praise HimFor the help of His presence.

Why are you in despair, O my soul?Why have you become restless and disquieted within me?Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him,The help of my countenance and my God.

Why are you in despair, O my soul?And why are you restless and disturbed within me?Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall again praise Him,The help of my [sad] countenance and my God.

Awake, my glory!Awake, harp and lyre!I will awaken the dawn.

O God, You are my God; with deepest longing I will seek You;My soul [my life, my very self] thirsts for You, my flesh longs and sighs for You,In a dry and weary land where there is no water.

Pe.Your testimonies are wonderful;Therefore my soul keeps them.

On the day I called, You answered me;And You made me bold and confident with [renewed] strength in my life.

I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;Wonderful are Your works,And my soul knows it very well.

Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning,For I trust in You.Teach me the way in which I should walk,For I lift up my soul to You.

In your lovingkindness, silence and destroy my enemiesAnd destroy all those who afflict my life,For I am Your servant.

And they will be life to your soul (your inner self)And a gracious adornment to your neck (your outer self).

When pride comes [boiling up with an arrogant attitude of self-importance], then come dishonor and shame,But with the humble [the teachable who have been chiseled by trial and who have learned to walk humbly with God] there is wisdom and soundness of mind.

A man’s stomach will be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth;He will be satisfied with the consequence of his words.

“The Lord is my portion and my inheritance,” says my soul;“Therefore I have hope in Him and wait expectantly for Him.”

I heard and my whole inner self trembled;My lips quivered at the sound.Decay and rottenness enter my bones,And I tremble in my place.Because I must wait quietly for the day of distress,For the people to arise who will invade and attack us.
