Psalms
Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
Proverbs
So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.
A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.
He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.
He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.
The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.
Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.
