If I ascend the heavens -- there Thou `art', And spread out a couch in Sheol, lo, Thee!
Naked `is' Sheol over-against Him, And there is no covering to destruction.
Sheol and destruction `are' before Jehovah, Surely also the hearts of the sons of men.
Is any one hidden in secret places, And I see him not? an affirmation of Jehovah, Do not I fill the heavens and the earth? An affirmation of Jehovah.
If thou dost go up high as an eagle, And if between stars thou dost set thy nest, From thence I bring thee down, An affirmation of Jehovah.
And he saith: I called, because of my distress, to Jehovah, And He doth answer me, From the belly of sheol I have cried, Thou hast heard my voice.
