3 And you have thrown me [the] deep in [the] heart of [the] seas and a river it surrounds me all breakers your and waves your over me they have passed.
For thou hast cast me into the deep, in the heart of the seas; and the stream compasseth me about: all thy billows and thy waves have passed over me.

And I thought indeed, I am driven out from before thy eyes: yet I again shall look toward thy holy temple.

To the bottoms of the mountains did I go down; the earth [closed] her bars about me for ever: when thou broughtest up my life from the pit, O Lord my God!

When my soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord: and my prayer came unto thee, unto thy holy temple.
