חַיִּים

Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Yahweh’s house forever.

Don’t gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men;

Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?

One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in Yahweh’s house all the days of my life, to see Yahweh’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple.

For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.

For my life is spent with sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity. My bones are wasted away.

Who is someone who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?

For with you is the spring of life. In your light we will see light.

Yahweh will command his loving kindness in the daytime. In the night his song shall be with me: a prayer to the God of my life.

Though while he lived he blessed his soul— and men praise you when you do well for yourself—

Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.

So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.

Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

who preserves our life among the living, and doesn’t allow our feet to be moved.

She gives no thought to the way of life. Her ways are crooked, and she doesn’t know it.

For my soul is full of troubles. My life draws near to Sheol.

who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies,

I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

May Yahweh bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

like the dew of Hermon, that comes down on the hills of Zion; for there Yahweh gives the blessing, even life forever more.

While I live, I will praise Yahweh. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

None who go to her return again, neither do they attain to the paths of life.

for they will add to you length of days, years of life, and peace.

She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her. Happy is everyone who retains her.

so they will be life to your soul, and grace for your neck.

Listen, my son, and receive my sayings. The years of your life will be many.

Take firm hold of instruction. Don’t let her go. Keep her, for she is your life.

For they are life to those who find them, and health to their whole body.

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life.

For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light. Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,

For whoever finds me, finds life, and will obtain favor from Yahweh.

For by me your days will be multiplied. The years of your life will be increased.

The mouth of the righteous is a spring of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

The labor of the righteous leads to life. The increase of the wicked leads to sin.

He is in the way of life who heeds correction, but he who forsakes reproof leads others astray.

He who is truly righteous gets life. He who pursues evil gets death.

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. He who is wise wins souls.

In the way of righteousness is life; in its path there is no death.

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.

The teaching of the wise is a spring of life, to turn from the snares of death.
