You threw me deep into the Mediterranean Sea. I was deep down in its waters. They were all around me. All your rolling waves were sweeping over me.
“The waves of death were all around me. A destroying flood swept over me.
I love the Lord, because he heard my voice. He heard my cry for his help.
Because he paid attention to me, I will call out to him as long as I live.
I call out to the Lord when I’m in trouble, and he answers me.
You have sent wave upon wave of trouble over me. It roars down on me like a waterfall. All your waves and breakers have rolled over me.
The water rose and covered my head. I thought I was going to die.
Lord, I called out to you. I called out from the bottom of the pit.
