“In my distress I called to the Lord,
    and he answered me.
From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help,
    and you listened to my cry.
3 You hurled me into the depths,
    into the very heart of the seas,
    and the currents swirled about me;
all your waves and breakers
    swept over me.I said, ‘I have been banished
    from your sight;
yet I will look again
    toward your holy temple.’The engulfing waters threatened me,
    the deep surrounded me;
    seaweed was wrapped around my head.To the roots of the mountains I sank down;
    the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you, Lord my God,
    brought my life up from the pit.“When my life was ebbing away,
    I remembered you, Lord,
and my prayer rose to you,
    to your holy temple.“Those who cling to worthless idols
    turn away from God’s love for them.
9 But I, with shouts of grateful praise,
    will sacrifice to you.
What I have vowed I will make good.
    I will say, ‘Salvation comes from the Lord.’”
