Jonah 2:3

aFor you cast me into the deep,

into the heart of the seas,

and the flood surrounded me;

ball your breakers and your waves

passed over me.


Psalm 42:7

Deep calls to deep

at the roar of your waterfalls;

jall your breakers and your kwaves

have gone over me.


Psalm 69:1–2

Save Me, O God

To the choirmaster: according to tLilies. Of David.

Save me, O God!

For uthe waters have come up to my neck.1

I sink in deep vmire,

where there is no foothold;

I have come into deep waters,

and the flood wsweeps over me.


Psalm 69:14–15

14  Deliver me

from sinking in qthe mire;

rlet me be delivered from my enemies

and from sthe deep waters.

15  Let not the flood sweep over me,

or the deep swallow me up,

or tthe pit close uits mouth over me.


Lamentations 3:54

54  ywater closed over my head;

I said, zI am lost.


Psalm 88:5–8

like one set loose among the dead,

like the slain that lie in the grave,

like those whom iyou remember no more,

for they are jcut off from your hand.

You have put me in kthe depths of the pit,

in the lregions dark and mdeep.

Your wrath nlies heavy upon me,

and you overwhelm me with oall your waves. Selah

You have caused pmy companions to shun me;

you have made me qa horror1 to them.

I am rshut in so that I cannot escape;


Jonah 1:12–16

12 He said to them, Pick me up and hurl me into the sea; then the sea will quiet down for you, qfor I know it is because of me that this great tempest has come upon you. 13 Nevertheless, the men rowed hard1 to get back to dry land, but they could not, for the sea grew more and more tempestuous against them. 14 Therefore they called out to the Lord, O Lord, let us not perish for this man’s life, and rlay not on us innocent blood, sfor you, O Lord, have done as it pleased you. 15 So they picked up Jonah and hurled him into the sea, tand the sea ceased from its raging. 16 Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, uand they offered a sacrifice to the Lord vand made vows.
