From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help, and you listened to my cry. saying: “In my distress I called to the LORD, and He answered me. From the belly of Sheol I called for help, and You heard my voice. saying, “I called out to the LORD, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice.
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. For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the current swirled about me; all Your breakers and waves swept over me. For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me; all your waves and your billows passed over me.
4 I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’ At this, I said, ‘I have been banished from Your sight; yet I will look once more toward Your holy temple.’ Then I said, ‘I am driven away from your sight; yet I shall again look upon your holy temple.’

6 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. To the roots of the mountains I descended; the earth beneath me barred me in forever! But You raised my life from the pit, O LORD my God! at the roots of the mountains. I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me forever; yet you brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God.
7 “When my life was ebbing away, I remembered you, LORD, and my prayer rose to you, to your holy temple. As my life was fading away, I remembered the LORD. My prayer went up to You, to Your holy temple. When my life was fainting away, I remembered the LORD, and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple.
8 “Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them. Those who cling to worthless idols forsake His loving devotion. Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love.
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.’” But I, with the voice of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to You. I will fulfill what I have vowed. Salvation is from the LORD!” But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay. Salvation belongs to the LORD!”
