and he saidh559, "I  acalledh7121 out of my distressh6869a to the LORDh3068, And He answeredh6030a me. I criedh7768 for helph7768 from the  1depthh990 of  bSheolh7585; You heardh8085 my voiceh6963.

3

"For You had  acasth7993 me into the deeph4688, Into the hearth3824 of the seash3220, And the currenth5104  1engulfedh5437 me. Allh3605 Your  bbreakersh4867 and billowsh1530 passedh5674a overh5921 me.

4

"So I saidh559, `I have been  aexpelledh1644 from  1Your sighth5869. Neverthelessh389 I will lookh5027 againh3254  btowardh413 Your holyh6944 templeh1964.'

5

aWaterh4325 encompassedh661 me to the  1point of deathh5315. The great  bdeeph8415  2engulfedh5437 me, Weedsh5488 were wrappedh2280 around my headh7218.

6

"I  adescendedh3381 to the rootsh7095 of the mountainsh2022. The earthh776 with its  bbarsh1280 was aroundh1157 me foreverh5769, But You have  cbroughth5927 up my lifeh2425b from  1the pith7845, O LORDh3068 my Godh430.

7

"While  1I was  afaintingh5848c awayh5848c, I  brememberedh2142 the LORDh3068, And my  cprayerh8605 cameh935 to You, Into  dYour holyh6944 templeh1964.

8

"Those who  aregardh8104  1vainh7723 idolsh1892 Forsakeh5800a their faithfulnessh2617a,

9

But I will  asacrificeh2076 to You With the voiceh6963 of thanksgivingh8426. That whichh834 I have vowedh5087 I will  bpayh7999a.  cSalvationh3444 is from the LORDh3068."
