You threw me into the deep waters, into the middle of the sea; the ocean current engulfed me; all the mighty waves you sent swept over me.
I thought I had been banished from your sight, that I would never again see your holy temple!
Water engulfed me up to my neck; the deep ocean surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head.
I went down to the very bottoms of the mountains; the gates of the netherworld barred me in forever; but you brought me up from the Pit, O LORD, my God.
When my life was ebbing away, I called out to the LORD. And my prayer came to you, to your holy temple.
Those who worship worthless idols forfeit the mercy that could be theirs.
