How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low!

You said in your heart, "I will ascend into heaven! I will exalt my throne above the stars of God! I will sit on the mountain of assembly, in the far north!

I will ascend above the heights of the clouds! I will make myself like the Most High!"

Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the depths of the pit.

Those who see you will stare at you. They will ponder you, saying, "Is this the man who made the earth to tremble, who shook kingdoms;

All the kings of the nations, sleep in glory, everyone in his own house.
