Psalms 124:7
King James Version
7 Jun 2026
“Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.”
נֶפֶשׁ
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.
