Psalms 16:10
King James Version
7 Jun 2026
“For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.”
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.
