'Down' in the Bible

But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.

Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.

Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
