All your waves and your billows passed over me. ⁴I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’ ⁵The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.

⁷Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls. All your waves and your billows have swept over me.
