³ You hurled me into the depths,^(A)
    into the very heart of the seas,
    and the currents swirled about me;
all your waves^(B) and breakers
    swept over me.^(C)
4 I said, ‘I have been banished
    from your sight;^(D)
yet I will look again
    toward your holy temple.’^(E)
5 The engulfing waters threatened me,^[a]
    the deep surrounded me;
    seaweed was wrapped around my head.^(F)
6 To the roots of the mountains^(G) I sank down;
    the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you, Lord my God,
    brought my life up from the pit.^(H)

⁷ “When my life was ebbing away,
    I remembered^(I) you, Lord,
and my prayer^(J) rose to you,
    to your holy temple.^(K)

⁸ “Those who cling to worthless idols^(L)
    turn away from God’s love for them.
