You threw me down to the bottom of the sea. The water was churning all around; I was completely covered by your mighty waves.
Death, like ocean waves, surrounded me, and I was almost swallowed by its flooding waters.
I love you, LORD! You answered my prayers.
You paid attention to me, and so I will pray to you as long as I live.
When I am in trouble, I pray,
Your vicious waves have swept over me like an angry ocean or a roaring waterfall.
Water covered my head— I thought I was gone.
From the bottom of the pit, I prayed to you, LORD.
