5  ^eThe waters closed in over me ^fto take my life;

the deep surrounded me;

weeds were wrapped about my head.

6  To the roots of the mountains I went down,

to the land whose bars closed upon me forever.

Yet you brought up my life from the pit,

O Lord my God.

7  When my life was fainting away,

I remembered the Lord,

^gand my prayer came to you,

into your holy temple.
