O Morning Star, son of Dawn!
How you are cut down to the ground,
you who laid the nations low!(A)

“I will ascend to heaven;
I will raise my throne
above the stars of God;
I will sit on the mount of assembly
on the heights of Zaphon;[a](B)
14 I will ascend to the tops of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.”(C)

to the depths of the Pit.(D)

and ponder over you:
“Is this the man who made the earth tremble,
who shook kingdoms,(E)
