"Lord, O Lord, the strength of my salvation: you have overshadowed my head in the day of war. "
— Psalms 139:8, Catholic Public Domain Version
“If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.”
“If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou art there. ”
“If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there!”
“If I were to ascend to heaven, you would be there. If I were to sprawl out in Sheol, there you would be.”
“O Lord, Lord, the strength of my salvation: thou hast overshadowed my head in the day of battle.”
“If I go up to heaven, you are there: or if I make my bed in the underworld, you are there.”
“If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.”
Preserve me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner, and rescue me from men of iniquity. They have decided to supplant my steps.
The arrogant have hidden a snare for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare. They have placed a stumbling block for me near the road.
I said to the Lord: You are my God. O Lord, heed the voice of my supplication.
Lord, O Lord, the strength of my salvation: you have overshadowed my head in the day of war.
O Lord, do not hand me over to the sinner by my desire. They have plotted against me. Do not abandon me, lest they should triumph.
The head of those who encompass me, the labor of their lips, will overwhelm them.
Burning coals will fall upon them. You will cast them down into the fire, into miseries that they will not be able to withstand.
