'Head' in the Bible

But You, O Lord, are a shield about me,My glory, and the One who lifts my head.

His mischief will return upon his own head,And his violence will descend upon his own pate.

You have delivered me from the contentions of the people;You have placed me as head of the nations;A people whom I have not known serve me.

For You meet him with the blessings of good things;You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

All who see me sneer at me;They separate with the lip, they wag the head, saying,

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;You have anointed my head with oil;My cup overflows.

And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me,And I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy;I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

For my iniquities are gone over my head;As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.

For evils beyond number have surrounded me;My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see;They are more numerous than the hairs of my head,And my heart has failed me.

“Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;Ephraim also is the helmet of My head;Judah is My scepter.

So they will make him stumble;Their own tongue is against them;All who see them will shake the head.

Surely God will shatter the head of His enemies,The hairy crown of him who goes on in his guilty deeds.

Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head;Those who would destroy me are powerful, being wrongfully my enemies;What I did not steal, I then have to restore.

“Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine;Ephraim also is the helmet of My head;Judah is My scepter.

I also have become a reproach to them;When they see me, they wag their head.

He will drink from the brook by the wayside;Therefore He will lift up His head.

It is like the precious oil upon the head,Coming down upon the beard,Even Aaron’s beard,Coming down upon the edge of his robes.

“O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation,You have covered my head in the day of battle.

“As for the head of those who surround me,May the mischief of their lips cover them.

Let the righteous smite me in kindness and reprove me;It is oil upon the head;Do not let my head refuse it,For still my prayer is against their wicked deeds.
