The current was all around me. All your waves, your huge breakers passed over me! And I said: I have been cast out of your sight. Yet I will look again toward your Holy Temple. read more.
The waters encompassed me and threatened my life. The deep sea surrounded me. The sea weeds were wrapped about my head. I went down to the bottom of the mountains! The earth with its bars closed upon me for a very long time. Yet you have brought my life up from the pit, O Jehovah my God? My life was leaving me and I remembered Jehovah! My prayer came to you, into your Holy Temple. They that regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy. But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving! I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is from Jehovah!
