4. “Then I thought,‘I have been banished from your sight.Will I ever see your holy temple again?’
5. “Water surrounded me, threatening my life.The deep ⌊sea⌋ covered me completely.Seaweed was wrapped around my head.
6. I sank to the foot of the mountains.I sank to the bottom,where bars held me forever.But you brought me back from the pit, O Lord, my God.
7. “As my life was slipping away, I remembered the Lord.My prayer came to you in your holy temple.
8. Those who hold on to worthless idols abandon their loyalty ⌊to you⌋.
9. But I will sacrifice to you with songs of thanksgiving.I will keep my vow.Victory belongs to the Lord!”
