One deep calleth another with the voice of thy water-pipes, all thy waves and water floods are gone over me.
But now that God hath sent me adversity, thou hast troubled all my congregation. And that thou hast filled me with wrinkles, my flesh is witness; and my leanness riseth up against me and beareth witness thereof in my face. He is angry at me, he hateth me, and gnasheth upon me with his teeth. Mine enemy scowleth upon me with his eyes. read more.
They have opened their mouths wide upon me, and smitten me upon the cheek despitefully, they have eased themselves through mine adversity. God hath given me over to the ungodly, and delivered me into the hands of the wicked. I was some time in wealth, but suddenly hath he brought me to naught. He hath taken me by the neck, he hath rent me, and set me, as it were a mark for him to shoot at. His archers compass me round about; he hath wounded my loins, and not spared. My bowels hath he poured upon the ground. He hath given me one wound upon another, and is fallen upon me like a giant. I have sewed a sackcloth upon my skin, and lie with my strength in the dust. My face is swollen with weeping, and mine eyes are waxen dim.

Thou hast suffered men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, and thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

And he said, "In my tribulation I called unto the LORD, and he answered me: out of the belly of hell I cried, and thou heardest my voice. For thou hadst cast me down deep in the midst of the sea; and the flood compassed me about: and all thy waves and rolls of water went over me. And I thought that I had been cast away out of thy sight. But I will yet again look toward thy holy temple. read more.
The water compassed me even unto the very soul of me; the deep lay about me, and the weeds were wrapped about mine head. And I went down unto the bottom of the hills, and was barred in with earth on every side forever. And yet thou, LORD my God, broughtest up my life again out of corruption. When my soul fainted in me, I thought on the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, even into thy holy temple. They that observe vain vanities, have forsaken him that was merciful unto them. But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving, and will pay that that I have vowed, that saving cometh of the LORD."
