³ For thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me; All thy waves and thy billows passed over me.

⁴ And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes; Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

⁵ The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; The deep was round about me; The weeds were wrapped about my head.

⁶ I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The earth with its bars `closed' upon me for ever: Yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
