'Life' in the Bible

Turn, O Yahweh; deliver my life. Save me for the sake of your steadfast love.

let the enemy of my soul pursue, and overtake and trample my life into the ground, and lay my honor in the dust. Selah

You will make known to me [the] path of life. In your presence [is] fullness of joy. At your right hand [are] pleasures forever.

from [the] {presence} of [the] wicked who destroy me, [those] enemies against my life, [they that] surround me.

Rise up, O Yahweh, confront {him}. Make him bow down. Rescue with your sword my life from [the] wicked,

from men by your hand, O Yahweh, from men of [this] world. Their share [is] in {this life}, and you fill their stomach [with] your treasure. They are satisfied [with] children. They bequeath their excess to their children.

The law of Yahweh [is] perfect, reviving life. The testimony of Yahweh [is] firm, making wise [the] simple.

He asked life from you; you gave [it] to him-- length of days forever and ever.

Rescue my life from [the] sword, my only [life] from [the] power of [the] dogs.

He restores my life. He leads me in {correct paths} for the sake of his name.

Surely goodness and loyal love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will stay in the house of Yahweh {for a very long time}.

Protect my life and deliver me. Let me not be put to shame, because I take shelter in you.

Do not destroy me with [the] sinners, nor my life with men of bloodshed,

Yahweh [is] my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Yahweh [is] the refuge of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

One [thing] I have asked from Yahweh; it I will seek: [that] I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Yahweh, and to consider his temple.

O Yahweh, you have brought my life up from Sheol. You preserved me alive from among those going down to [the] pit.

I will exult and rejoice in your loyal love. Because you have seen my misery, you know the distresses of my life.

For my life is at an end with sorrow, and my years with sighing. My strength stumbles because of my iniquity, and my bones waste away.

For I hear [the] rumor of many, "Terror on every side!" When conspiring together against me, they have plotted to take my life.

Who [is] the man who desires life, who loves [many] days in order to see good?

Yahweh redeems the life of his servants, and none who take refuge in him will incur guilt.

Let those who seek my life be shamed and humiliated. Let those who plot calamity against me be repulsed and ashamed.

For without cause they secretly hide the pit with their net for me; without cause they dug [it] for my life.

My Lord, how long will you watch? Restore my life from their ravages, my only [life] from [the] young lions.

For with you is [the] fountain of life; in your light we see light.

Those who seek my life lay snares as well, and those intent on my harm speak threats. They also plot deceit all day.

Let them be shamed and abashed altogether who seek to take away my life. Let them be repulsed and humiliated [who] desire my harm.

By day Yahweh commands his loyal love, and in the night his song [is] with me, a prayer to the God of my life.

(since the redemption price for their life is costly and it always fails),

Surely God will ransom my life from the {power} of Sheol, because he will receive me. Selah

For foreigners have risen against me, and ruthless [men] seek my life. They have not set God before them. Selah

See, God [is] my helper; The Lord [is] with those who sustain my life.

He safely redeems my life from [the] battle against me, because [those standing] against me are among many.

They attack, they hide, they watch my {steps}, as they [lie in] wait for my life.

For look, they lie in wait for my life. The mighty attack against me, not [because of] my transgression or my sin, O Yahweh.

Because your loyal love [is] better than life, my lips will praise you.

But as for them [who] seek my life for ruin, they will go into the depths of the earth.

Hear my voice, O God, in my lamenting. Preserve my life from [the] fear of [the] enemy.

Let them be ashamed and abashed who seek my life. Let them be repulsed and humiliated [who] desire my harm.

For my enemies talk concerning me, and those who watch for my life conspire together,

Do not give to beasts the life of your dove; do not ever forget the life of your afflicted ones.

He cleared a path for his anger. He did not spare them from death but handed their life over to the plague.

Then we will not turn back from you. Restore us to life, and we will proclaim your name.

Watch over my life because I [am] faithful. You [are] my God; save your servant. [I am] the one who trusts you.

because your loyal love [is] great toward me, and you will have delivered my life from Sheol below.

O God, arrogant men have risen up against me, even a gang of ruthless men seek my life, but they do not set you before them.

For my soul is full with troubles, and my life approaches Sheol.

What man can live [on] and not see death? Can he deliver his life from the {power} of Sheol? Selah

[With] {long life} I will satisfy him, and show him my salvation.

They band together against [the] life of [the] righteous, and declare [the] blameless guilty of blood.

I say, "My God, do not carry me off from my life in the middle of my days." Your years [continue] throughout all generations.

who redeems your life from [the] pit, who crowns you with loyal love and mercies,

who satisfies your life with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

I will sing to Yahweh throughout my life; I will sing praise to my God while {I remain alive}.

Let this [be] the punishment for my accusers from Yahweh, even those who speak evil against my life.

for he stands at [the] right [hand] of [the] needy, to save [him] from those judging his life.

Then I called on the name of Yahweh: "O Yahweh, please save my life!"

This [is] my comfort in my misery: that your word preserves my life.

My life [is] {in danger} continually, yet I do not forget your law.

Hear my voice according to your loyal love; O Yahweh, preserve my life according to your justice.

Plead my cause and redeem me; preserve my life according to your word.

Your mercies [are] great, O Yahweh; preserve my life according to your ordinances.

Consider that I love your precepts; O Yahweh, according to your loyal love preserve my life.

"Deliver my life, O Yahweh, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue."

Yahweh will protect you from all evil; he will protect your life.

May Yahweh bless you from Zion, that you may see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life,

[It is] like the dew of Hermon that runs down upon the mountains of Zion, because there Yahweh commanded the blessing-- life forever.

For [the] enemy has pursued my soul; he has crushed my life to the ground. He has made me dwell in dark places like [those] long dead.

For your name's sake, O Yahweh, preserve my life; in your righteousness bring me out of trouble.
