“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.”
“The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head.”
“I went down to the bases of the mountains; as for the earth, her walls were about me for ever: but you have taken up my life from the underworld, O Lord my God.”

For 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.
And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes; Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; The deep was round about me; The weeds were wrapped about my head.
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The earth with its bars closed upon me for ever: Yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, into thy holy temple.
They that regard lying vanities Forsake their own mercy.
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
