A song of David.

My soul, praise the Lord! Every part of me, praise his holy name!

My soul, praise the Lord and never forget how kind he is!

Everything the Lord has made should praise him throughout the world that he rules! My soul, praise the Lord!

My soul, praise the Lord! Lord my God, you are very great! You are clothed with glory and honor.

I wish sinners would disappear from the earth. I wish the wicked would be gone forever. My soul, praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

A praise song of David.

God, I am ready, heart and soul, to sing songs of praise. Wake up, my soul!

My soul, relax! The Lord is caring for you.

Lord, you saved my soul from death. You stopped my tears. You kept me from falling.

The Lord will protect you from every danger. He will protect your soul.

I am waiting for the Lord to help me. My soul waits for him. I trust what he says.

Praise the Lord! My soul, praise the Lord!

She Speaks to Him

I love you with all my soul! Tell me, where do you feed your sheep? Where do you lay them down at noon? I should come to be with you or I will be like a hired woman caring for the sheep of your friends.

At night my soul longs to be with you, and the spirit in me wants to be with you at the dawn of every new day. When your way of justice comes to the world, people will learn the right way of living.

What can I say? He told me what would happen, and he will make it happen. I have had these troubles in my soul, so now I will be humble all my life.

Why waste your money on something that is not real food? Why should you work for something that does not really satisfy you? Listen closely to me and you will eat what is good. You will enjoy the food that satisfies your soul.

They will make me happy. I will enjoy doing good to them. And I will surely plant them in this land and make them grow. I will do this with all my heart and soul.’”

“My soul gave up all hope, but then I remembered the Lord. I prayed to you, and you heard my prayers in your holy Temple.

“Don’t be afraid of people. They can kill the body, but they cannot kill the soul. The only one you should fear is God, the one who can send the body and the soul to be destroyed in hell.

Jesus answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’

The man answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ Also, ‘Love your neighbor the same as you love yourself.’”

Dear friends, we have these promises from God. So we should make ourselves pure—free from anything that makes our body or our soul unclean. Our respect for God should make us try to be completely holy in the way we live.

We pray that God himself, the God of peace, will make you pure—belonging only to him. We pray that your whole self—spirit, soul, and body—will be kept safe and be blameless when our Lord Jesus Christ comes.

God’s word is alive and working. It is sharper than the sharpest sword and cuts all the way into us. It cuts deep to the place where the soul and the spirit are joined. God’s word cuts to the center of our joints and our bones. It judges the thoughts and feelings in our hearts.

The Lamb opened the fifth seal. Then I saw some souls under the altar. They were the souls of those who had been killed because they were faithful to God’s message and to the truth they had received.
