He said:

“I called out to the Lord from the midst of affliction directed at me,[a]
    and he answered me.
From the depths[b] of death[c] I cried out for help;

You cast me into the deep—
    into the heart of the sea.

    All your breakers and your waves swirled over me.
So I told myself,[e] ‘I have been driven away from you.[f]
    How[g] will I again gaze on your holy Temple?’
