“Sing unto the Lord, praise ye the Lord: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.”

Life, soul, living being. Nephesh. The animating breath God places in every living creature. In animals it is the life force. In humanity it is the seat of emotion, will and identity. Every nephesh belongs to God — from the creatures in the sea to the deepest cry of the human heart.
