For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the floods surrounded me; all Your waves and Your billows passed over me. [Ps. 42:7.]
[Roaring] deep calls to [roaring] deep at the thunder of Your waterspouts; all Your breakers and Your rolling waves have gone over me.
The waters ran down on my head; I said, I am gone.
For the waves of death enveloped me; the torrents of destruction made me afraid.
I LOVE the Lord, because He has heard [and now hears] my voice and my supplications.
Because He has inclined His ear to me, therefore will I call upon Him as long as I live.
IN MY distress I cried to the Lord, and He answered me.
I called upon Your name, O Lord, out of the depths [of the mire] of the dungeon. [Jer. 38:6.]
