'Soul' in the Bible

The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.

When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.

And now, O Jehovah, take, I pray Thee, my soul from me, for better is my death than my life.'

And it cometh to pass, about the rising of the sun, that God appointeth a cutting east wind, and the sun smiteth on the head of Jonah, and he wrappeth himself up, and asketh his soul to die, and saith, 'Better is my death than my life.'
