In context

3For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the current swirled about me; all Your breakers and waves swept over me.

4At this, I said, ‘I have been banished from Your sight; yet I will look once more toward Your holy temple.’

5The waters engulfed me to take my life; the watery depths closed around me; the seaweed wrapped around my head.

6To the roots of the mountains I descended; the earth beneath me barred me in forever! But You raised my life from the pit, O LORD my God!

7As my life was fading away, I remembered the LORD. My prayer went up to You, to Your holy temple.
