² "When I was in danger,
    I called to the Lord,
    and he answered me.
I was about to die,
    so I cried to you,
    and you heard my voice.
³ You threw me into the sea,
    down, down into the deep sea.
The water was all around me,
    and your powerful waves flowed over me.
⁴ I said, ‘I was driven out of your presence,
    but I hope to see your Holy Temple again.'
⁵ The waters of the sea closed around my throat.
    The deep sea was all around me;
    seaweed was wrapped around my head.
⁶ When I went down to where the mountains of the sea start to rise,
    I thought I was locked in this prison forever,
but you saved me from the pit of death,
    Lord my God.

⁷ "When my life had almost gone,
    I remembered the Lord.
I prayed to you,
    and you heard my prayers in your Holy Temple.

⁸ "People who worship useless idols
    give up their loyalty to you.
⁹ But I will praise and thank you
    while I give sacrifices to you,
    and I will keep my promises to you.
Salvation comes from the Lord!"
