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, make the sky sink and come down! Touch the mountains and make them smolder!

When I look up at the heavens, which your fingers made, and see the moon and the stars, which you set in place,

The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord’s throne is in heaven. His eyes watch; his eyes examine all people.

The Lord looks down from heaven at the human race, to see if there is anyone who is wise and seeks God.

The Lord thundered in the sky; the sovereign One shouted.

For the music director; a psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; the sky displays his handiwork.

It emerges from the distant horizon, and goes from one end of the sky to the other; nothing can escape its heat.

May he send help from heaven and deliver me from my enemies who hurl insults! (Selah) May God send his loyal love and faithfulness!

Rise up above the sky, O God! May your splendor cover the whole earth!

For your loyal love extends beyond the sky, and your faithfulness reaches the clouds.

Rise up above the sky, O God! May your splendor cover the whole earth!

They have given the corpses of your servants to the birds of the sky; the flesh of your loyal followers to the beasts of the earth.

O God, invincible warrior, come back! Look down from heaven and take notice! Take care of this vine,

For I say, “Loyal love is permanently established; in the skies you set up your faithfulness.”

O Lord, the heavens praise your amazing deeds, as well as your faithfulness in the angelic assembly.

The heavens belong to you, as does the earth. You made the world and all it contains.

For he will look down from his sanctuary above; from heaven the Lord will look toward earth,

For as the skies are high above the earth, so his loyal love towers over his faithful followers.

For your loyal love extends beyond the sky, and your faithfulness reaches the clouds.
