'Head' in the Bible

His wrongdoing will come back to him, and his violent behaviour will come down on his head.

You have made me free from the fightings of the people; you have made me the head of the nations: a people of whom I had no knowledge will be my servants.

For you go before him with the blessings of good things: you put a crown of fair gold on his head.

And now my head will be lifted up higher than my haters who are round me: because of this I will make offerings of joy in his tent; I will make a song, truly I will make a song of praise to the Lord.

Because of all those who are against me, I have become a word of shame to my neighbours; a cause of shaking the head and a fear to my friends: those who saw me in the street went in flight from me.

For unnumbered evils are round about me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I am bent down with their weight; they are more than the hairs of my head, my strength is gone because of them.

You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil: and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head, lifting you high over all other kings.

By the power of your hand the earth is shaking and broken; make it strong again, for it is moved.

The heads of the haters of God will be crushed; even the head of him who still goes on in his evil ways.

Those who have hate for me without cause are greater in number than the hairs of my head; those who are against me, falsely desiring my destruction, are very strong; I gave back what I had not taken away.

Let me not be covered by the flowing waters; let not the deep waters go over my head, and let me not be shut up in the underworld.

I have made discovery of David my servant; I have put my holy oil on his head.

O Lord God, the strength of my salvation, you have been a cover over my head in the day of the fight.
