My soul   "Rather, ""My life naphshee is continually in my hand;"" i.e., it is in constant danger; every hour I am on the confines of death. The LXX., Syriac, and Ethiopic read, ""in thy hand;"" but this is a conjectural and useless alteration. Jdg 12:3; 1Sa 19:5; 1Sa 20:3; Job 13:14; Rom 8:36; 1Cr 15:31; 2Cr 11:23"
