Afflictions » Resignation in trials, examples of » Waters of affliction
Deep calls to deep at the [thundering] sound of Your waterfalls;
All Your breakers and Your waves have rolled over me.
For the waters have threatened my life [they have come up to my neck].
Your wrath has rested heavily upon me,
And You have afflicted me with all Your waves.
Then the waters would have engulfed us,
The torrent would have swept over our soul;
Though the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of oppression, yet your Teacher will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will [constantly] see your Teacher.
“The waters surrounded me, to the point of death.
The great deep engulfed me,
Seaweed was wrapped around my head.
