'Bones' in the Bible

All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like unto thee, Who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, Yea, the poor and the needy from him that robbeth him?
There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation; Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
As with a sword in my bones, mine adversaries reproach me, While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
Make me to hear joy and gladness, That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
There were they in great fear, where no fear was; For God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: Thou hast put them to shame, because of God hath rejected them.
For my days consume away like smoke, And my bones are burned as a firebrand.
By reason of the voice of my groaning My bones cleave to my flesh.
He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment, And it came into his inward parts like water, And like oil into his bones.
As when one ploweth and cleaveth the earth, Our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.
