Who forgiveth all thine iniquities:
Who healeth all thy diseases;
Who satisfieth thy desire with good things,
So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle.
—Psalm 103:3, 5.
In both the Assyrian and Hebrew hymns there are a few references to the deity as preserving life:
Preserver of life, prince of Emachtila, renewer of life.
—Hymn to Marduk No. 13.
Darling of Ea, giver of life;
Prince of Babylon, protector of life.
