'Life' in the Bible

Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street.

They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.

O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.
