¹⁶ He reached down from heaven and rescued me;
    he drew me out of deep waters.

⁷ Reach down from heaven and rescue me;
    rescue me from deep waters,
    from the power of my enemies.

¹⁷ “He reached down from heaven and rescued me;
    he drew me out of deep waters.

⁵ “I sank beneath the waves,
    and the waters closed over me.
    Seaweed wrapped itself around my head.
⁶ I sank down to the very roots of the mountains.
    I was imprisoned in the earth,
    whose gates lock shut forever.
But you, O Lord my God,
    snatched me from the jaws of death!

³ He will send help from heaven to rescue me,
    disgracing those who hound me. Interlude
My God will send forth his unfailing love and faithfulness.
