As long as my breath is in me.

Psalms 63:3-7 Because Thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise Thee. Thus will I bless Thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in Thy name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise Thee with joyful lips: When I remember Thee upon my bed, and meditate on Thee in the night watches. Because Thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of Thy wings will I rejoice.


Psalms 104:33-35 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being... Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.

Psalms 146:1-2; 10 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.


As God lives, who has taken away my justice,
And the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter,

As long as my breath is in me,
And the breath of God in my nostrils,

My lips will not speak wickedness,
Nor my tongue utter deceit.

Far be it from me
That I should say you are right;
Till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.

My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go;
My heart shall not reproach me as long as I live.

--Job 27:3
