Psalms 35:17
King James Version
9 Jun 2026
“Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.”
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.
