Underneath the waters and their inhabitants.

And cried to my God for help;
He heard my voice from His temple,
And my cry for help came before Him, into His very ears.
As a crushing of my bones [with a sword], my adversaries taunt me,
While they say continually to me, “Where is your God?”
The cords and sorrows of death encompassed me,
And the terrors of Sheol came upon me;
I found distress and sorrow.
