For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me. “For You threw me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, And the current flowed around me. All Your breakers and waves passed over me. You hurled me into the depths, into the very heart of the seas, and the currents swirled about me; all your waves and breakers swept over me.
4 At this, I said, ‘I have been banished from Your sight; yet I will look once more toward Your holy temple.’ Then I said, ‘I am driven away from your sight; yet I shall again look upon your holy temple.’ Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. “So I said, ‘I have been cast out of Your sight. Nevertheless I will look again toward Your holy temple.’ I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’
5 The waters engulfed me to take my life; the watery depths closed around me; the seaweed wrapped around my head. The waters closed in over me to take my life; the deep surrounded me; weeds were wrapped about my head The waters compassed me about, <i>even</i> to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head. “Water encompassed me to the point of death. The deep flowed around me, Seaweed was wrapped around my head. The engulfing waters threatened me, the deep surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head.
6 To the roots of the mountains I descended; the earth beneath me barred me in forever! But You raised my life from the pit, O LORD my God! at the roots of the mountains. I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me forever; yet you brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God. I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars <i>was</i> about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God. “I descended to the base of the mountains. The earth <i>with</i> its bars <i>was</i> around me forever, But You have brought up my life from the pit, LORD my God. To the roots of the mountains I sank down; the earth beneath barred me in forever. But you, LORD my God, brought my life up from the pit.
7 As my life was fading away, I remembered the LORD. My prayer went up to You, to Your holy temple.

8 Those who cling to worthless idols forsake His loving devotion. Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love.

But I will sacrifice to You With a voice of thanksgiving. That which I have vowed I will pay. Salvation is from the LORD.” But I, with shouts of grateful praise, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good. I will say, ‘Salvation comes from the LORD.’”
