4 And you have thrown me into the deep, in the heart of the sea, and a flood has encircled me. All your whirlpools and your waves have passed over me.	4 And thou hast cast me forth into the deep in the heart of the sea, and a flood hath compassed me: all thy billows, and thy waves have passed over me.
5 And I said: I am expelled from the sight of your eyes. Yet, truly, I will see your holy temple again.	5 And I said: I am cast away out of the sight of thy eyes: but yet I shall see thy holy temple again.
6 The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The abyss has walled me in. The ocean has covered my head.	6 The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head.
7 I descended to the base of the mountains. The bars of the earth have enclosed me forever. And you will raise up my life from corruption, Lord, my God.	7 I went down to the lowest parts of the mountains: the bars of the earth have shut me up for ever: and thou wilt bring up my life from corruption, O Lord my God.
