For You (A)threw me into the deep,
Into the heart of the seas,
And the current flowed around me.
All Your (B)breakers and waves passed over me.
So I said, ‘I have been (C)cast out [a]of Your sight.
Nevertheless I will look again (D)toward Your holy temple.’
(E)Water encompassed me to the [b]point of death.
The (F)deep flowed around me,
Seaweed was wrapped around my head.

    from your sight;(D)
yet I will look again
    toward your holy temple.’(E)
The engulfing waters threatened me,[a]
    the deep surrounded me;
    seaweed was wrapped around my head.(F)
