From the belly of Sheol I called for help, and You heard my voice.	He said, “I called because of my affliction to Yahweh. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice.
3	For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.	For 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.	For you threw me into the depths, in the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your waves and your billows passed over me.
4	Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.	At this, I said, ‘I have been banished from Your sight; yet I will look once more toward Your holy temple.’	I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’
5	The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.

The weeds were wrapped around my head.
6	I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.	To 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!	I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth barred me in forever; yet you have brought my life up from the pit, Yahweh my God.
7	When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD : and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.	As my life was fading away, I remembered the LORD. My prayer went up to You, to Your holy temple.	“When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Yahweh. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.
8	They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.	Those who cling to worthless idols forsake His loving devotion.	Those who regard vain idols forsake their own mercy.
9	But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD .	But I, with the voice of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to You. I will fulfill what I have vowed. Salvation is from the LORD!”	But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to Yahweh.”
