5 The engulfing waters threatened me,

the deep surrounded me;

seaweed was wrapped around my head.

5 The waters closed in over me to take my life;

the deep surrounded me;

weeds were wrapped about my head

5 “I sank beneath the waves,

and the waters closed over me.

Seaweed wrapped itself around my head.

5 The waters surrounded me, even to my soul;

The deep closed around me;

Weeds were wrapped around my head.

5 The waters of the sea closed around my throat.

The deep sea was all around me;

seaweed was wrapped around my head.

5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul;

The deep was round about me;

The weeds were wrapped about my head.

5 The waters encompassed me, to the soul: The deep was round about me, The weeds were wrapped about my head.

5 “Water surrounded me, threatening my life. 

The deep ⸤sea⸥ covered me completely. 

Seaweed was wrapped around my head. 

5 The waters engulfed me up to the neck;

the watery depths overcame me;

seaweed was wrapped around my head.

5 The waters closed in over me;

the deep surrounded me;

weeds were wrapped around my head

5 The waters encompassed me up to my neck;

the deep surrounded me;

seaweed was wrapped around my head.

5 I had almost drowned in the waves.

The deep waters were all around me.

Seaweed was wrapped around my head.

5 “Water encompassed me to the point of death.

The great deep engulfed me,

Weeds were wrapped around my head.
