“I called because of my affliction to Yahweh. He answered me.

Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice.

3 For you threw me into the depths, In the heart of the seas.

The flood was all around me. All your waves and your billows passed over me.

4 I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; Yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’

5 The waters surrounded me, Even to the soul.

The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.

6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth barred me in forever: Yet have you brought up my life from the pit, Yahweh my God.

7 “When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Yahweh. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.

8 Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy. 9 But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed.

Salvation belongs to Yahweh.”
