'Dust' in the Bible

An enemy pursueth my soul, and overtaketh, And treadeth down to the earth my life, And my honour placeth in the dust. Selah.

And I beat them as dust before wind, As mire of the streets I empty them out.

And to the dust of death thou appointest me, For surrounded me have dogs, A company of evil doers have compassed me, Piercing my hands and my feet.

And the fat ones of earth have eaten, And they bow themselves, Before Him bow do all going down to dust, And he who hath not revived his soul.

What gain is in my blood? In my going down unto corruption? Doth dust thank Thee? doth it declare Thy truth?

For bowed to the dust hath our soul, Cleaved to the earth hath our belly.

Before him bow do the inhabitants of the dry places, And his enemies lick the dust.

And He raineth on them flesh as dust, And as sand of the seas -- winged fowl,

For Thy servants have been pleased with her stones, And her dust they favour.

For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we are dust.

Thou hidest Thy face -- they are troubled, Thou gatherest their spirit -- they expire, And unto their dust they turn back.

He is raising up from the dust the poor, From a dunghill He exalteth the needy.

Daleth. Cleaved to the dust hath my soul, Quicken me according to Thy word.
