^5 (A)Water encompassed me to my very soul.
The great ^(B)deep surrounded me,
Weeds were wrapped around my head.
⁶ I ^(C)went down to the ^[a]base of the mountains.
The earth with its ^(D)bars closed behind me forever,
But You have ^(E)brought up my life from ^[b]the pit, O Yahweh my God.
⁷ While my soul was ^(F)fainting within me,
I ^(G)remembered Yahweh,
And my ^(H)prayer came to You,
To ^(I)Your holy temple.
