GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.

DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.

Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.

Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.

This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.

Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.

Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.

I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.

I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word.

Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.

Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment.

Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.

Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments.

Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness.

Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.

He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.

Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.

If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he.

Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?

For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.

But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep;

They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.

Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.

The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness:

O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.

For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover.

Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey.

I spake also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.

Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city be laid waste?

Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any: but all your days ye shall dwell in tents; that ye may live many days in the land where ye be strangers.

Thus saith the LORD, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life for a prey, and shall live.

Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; If thou wilt assuredly go forth unto the king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thine house:

But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver thee. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of the LORD, which I speak unto thee: so it shall be well unto thee, and thy soul shall live.

Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me.

The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD, was taken in their pits, of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the heathen.

When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.

And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?

And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?

Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:

And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live.
