Psalm 119:109: My soul is in my palm continually, but Your Line I did not forget.
If you have read previous posts of mine, you will note that the word for soul is occasionally understood as appetite or desire. The word for soul in Hebrew is NEFESH. It is widely used in a sense to encompass appetite, desire, lust, the mind, pleasure either negatively or positively. The ancient Hebrews often referred to 'afflicting the soul' which meant to abstain from food. Hence our soul is the part of our being that is responsible for desires delights and affections. “He satisfieth the hungry soul with goodness – Ps 107:9” https://torahgoy.blogspot.com/2015/07/praying-shema.html
Therefore, I have amended this verse to read:
My desire is in my palm continually, but Your Line I did not forget.
