The mighty waters engulfed me;
I was buried beneath your wild and stormy waves.

whose gates lock shut forever.
But you, O LORD my God,
snatched me from the jaws of death!

I remembered the Lord;
And my prayer went up to You,
Into Your holy temple.

turn their backs on all God’s mercies.

and I will fulfill all my vows.
For my salvation comes from the LORD alone.”
