“From my distress I cried to Adonai
    and He answered me.
From the belly of Sheol I cried for help
    and you heard my voice.[a]

        into the heart of the seas,
    and currents swirled around me.

    swept over me.”

        from before your eyes.
    Yet I will continue to look
        toward your holy Temple.”
