I called out of mine affliction

Unto the Lord, and He answered me;

Out of the belly of the nether-world cried I,

And Thou heardest my voice.

4For Thou didst cast me into the depth,

In the heart of the seas,

And the flood was round about me;

All Thy waves and Thy billows

Passed over me.

5And I said: ‘I am cast out

From before Thine eyes’;

Yet I will look again

Toward Thy holy temple.

6The waters compassed me about, even to the soul;

The deep was round about me;

The weeds were wrapped about my head.

7I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The earth with her bars closed upon me for ever;

Yet hast Thou brought up my life from the pit,

O Lord my God.

8When my soul fainted within me,

I remembered the Lord;

And my prayer came in unto Thee,

Into Thy holy temple.

9They that regard lying vanities

Forsake their own mercy.

10But I will sacrifice unto Thee

With the voice of thanksgiving;

That which I have vowed I will pay.

Salvation is of the Lord.
