2 I called to the Lord in my distress,ak

and he answered me.

I cried out for help from deep insideC Sheol;al

you heard my voice.am

3 When you threw me into the depths,an

into the heart of the seas,ao

and the currentD overcame me.

All your breakers and your billows swept over me.ap

4 And I said, “I have been banishedaq

from your sight,ar

yet I will look once moreE

toward your holy temple.as

5 The water engulfed me up to the neck;F,at

the watery depths overcame me;

seaweed was wrapped around my head.au

6 I sank to the foundations of the mountains,av

the earth’s gates shut behind me forever!aw

Then you raised my lifeax from the Pit, Lord my God!ay

7 As my life was fading away,a

I remembered the Lord,b

and my prayer came to you,c

to your holy temple.d

8 Those who cherish worthless idolse

abandon their faithful love,f

9 but as for me, I will sacrificeg to you

with a voice of thanksgiving.h

I will fulfilli what I have vowed.

SalvationA belongs to the Lord.j
