Thou castedest me down into deepness, in the heart of the sea, and the floods compassed me [about]; all thy swells and thy waves passed on me.
For the sorrows of death com-passed me; the strands [or streams] of Belial made me afeared.
Alleluia. I loved the Lord; for the Lord shall hear the voice of my prayer.
For he bowed down his ear to me; and I shall inwardly call him in my days.
The song of degrees. When I was set in tribulation, I cried to the Lord; and he heard me.
Depth calleth depth; in the voice of thy windows. All thine high things, and thy waves; passed over me.
Waters flowed over mine head; I said, I perish.
Lord, I called to help thy name, from the last pit.
