And the floods surrounded me;
bAll Your billows and Your waves passed over me.

5 The awaters surrounded me, even to my soul;
The deep closed around me;
Weeds were wrapped around my head.

Weeds were wrapped around my head.
6 I went down to the1 moorings of the mountains;
The earth with its bars closed behind me forever;
Yet You have brought up my alife from the pit,
O Lord, my God.

O Lord, my God.

aAnd my prayer went up to You,
Into Your holy temple.
