The depths have covered them, ¹  they went down to the bottom ²  like a stone.

You place me in the lowest regions of the pit, ¹  in the dark places, in the watery depths.

A song of ascents. ²  From the deep water ³  I cry out to you, O Lord.

The Lord says, “I will retrieve them ¹  from Bashan, I will bring them back from the depths of the sea,

For you will extend your great loyal love to me, ¹  and will deliver my life ²  from the depths of Sheol. ³ 

They ¹  reached up to the sky, then dropped into the depths. The sailors’ strength ²  left them ³  because the danger was so great. ⁴ 

See how he scattered ¹  his lightning ²  about him; he has covered the depths ³  of the sea.

Though you have allowed me to experience much trouble and distress, ¹  revive me once again! ²  Bring me up once again ³  from the depths of the earth!

You will once again ¹  have mercy on us; you will conquer ²  our evil deeds; you will hurl our ³  sins into the depths of the sea. ⁴ 

Enemies seek to destroy my life, ¹  but they will descend into the depths of the earth. ² 

The depths of the earth are in his hand, ¹  and the mountain peaks belong to him.

Now you are wrecked by the seas, in the depths of the waters; your merchandise and all your company have sunk ¹  along with you. ² 

Praise the Lord from the earth, you sea creatures and all you ocean depths,

But you were brought down ¹  to Sheol, to the remote slopes of the pit. ² 

ק (Qof) I have called on your name, O Lord, from the deepest pit. ¹ 

When there were no deep oceans ¹  I was born, ²  when there were no springs overflowing ³  with water;

who led them through the deep water? Like a horse running on flat land ¹  they did not stumble.

my bones were not hidden from you, when ¹  I was made in secret and sewed together in the depths of the earth. ² 

But they do not realize ¹  that the dead ²  are there, that her guests are in the depths of the grave. ³ 

Did you not dry up the sea, the waters of the great deep? Did you not make ¹  a path through the depths of the sea, so those delivered from bondage ²  could cross over?
