'Alive' in the Bible

All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
