²⁰ Terror overwhelms them like a flood,
    and they are blown away in the storms of the night.

²¹ The sound of terror rings in their ears,
    and even on good days they fear the attack of the destroyer.

¹¹ “Terrors surround the wicked
    and trouble them at every step.

³ You threw me into the ocean depths,
    and I sank down to the heart of the sea.
The mighty waters engulfed me;
    I was buried beneath your wild and stormy waves.

¹⁴ Rescue me from the mud;
    don’t let me sink any deeper!
Save me from those who hate me,
    and pull me from these deep waters.
¹⁵ Don’t let the floods overwhelm me,
    or the deep waters swallow me,
    or the pit of death devour me.

⁷ I hear the tumult of the raging seas
    as your waves and surging tides sweep over me.

⁴ The ropes of death entangled me;
    floods of destruction swept over me.

²⁰ In a moment they die.
    In the middle of the night they pass away;
    the mighty are removed without human hand.

¹⁶ They were snatched away in the prime of life,
    the foundations of their lives washed away.
