Psalms 131:2
King James Version
9 Jun 2026
“Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.”
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.
