3
“For You had (A)cast me into the deep,
Into the heart of the seas,
And the current (a)engulfed me.
All Your (B)breakers and billows passed over me.
4
“So I said, ‘I have been (C)expelled from (b)Your sight.
Nevertheless I will look again (D)toward Your holy temple.’
5
(E)Water encompassed me to the (c)point of death.
The great (F)deep (d)engulfed me,
Weeds were wrapped around my head.
