5 [a]Adrift among the dead,
Like the slain who lie in the grave,
Whom You remember no more,
And who are cut off from Your hand.

In darkness, in the depths.

And You have afflicted me with all (A)Your waves. Selah

You have made me an abomination to them;
(C)I am shut up, and I cannot get out;

Psalm 69:14-15
New King James Version
14 Deliver me out of the mire,
And let me not sink;
Let me be delivered from those who hate me,
And out of the deep waters.
15 Let not the floodwater overflow me,
Nor let the deep swallow me up;
And let not the pit shut its mouth on me.
Jonah 1:12-16
New King James Version
12 And he said to them, (A)“Pick me up and [a]throw me into the sea; then the sea will become calm for you. For I know that this great tempest is because of me.”
13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to return to land, (B)but they could not, for the sea continued to grow more tempestuous against them. 14 Therefore they cried out to the Lord and said, “We pray, O Lord, please do not let us perish for this man’s life, and (C)do not charge us with innocent blood; for You, O Lord, (D)have done as it pleased You.” 15 So they picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, (E)and the sea ceased from its raging. 16 Then the men (F)feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice to the Lord and took vows.
