When Thou dost cast me `into' the deep, Into the heart of the seas, Then the flood doth compass me, All Thy breakers and Thy billows have passed over me.
When the breakers of death compassed me, The streams of the worthless terrify me,
I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication,
Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.
A Song of the Ascents. Unto Jehovah in my distress I have called, And He answereth me.
Deep unto deep is calling At the noise of Thy water-spouts, All Thy breakers and Thy billows passed over me.
Flowed have waters over my head, I have said, I have been cut off.
I called Thy name, O Jehovah, from the lower pit.
