Need a word for "below". Please help!

I'm trying to translate something simple and I'm having a hard time.
"Sky above me
Earth below me
Fire within me"
I've had to change "above" to over, but no matter what synonym I've tried for below, it doesn't translate. Any ideas?

The accepted standard translation of that quote is Lok bo, gol tum, yol kosil as stated here and repeated here.

The runic form of the translation is as follows:

LOK BO - GOL TUM - YOL KOSIL

For details on the word tum, see here.

You can use "bo" for above, and "tu'um" for "within".

For "down" use "tum".

(Honestly, the difference between "tu'um" and "tum" confused me, so if I got it wrong let me know.)
