Psalm
R. You will rescue my life from the pit, O Lord.
I called to the Lord out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice. R.
You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me; all your waves and your billows passed over me. R.
Then I said, ‘I am driven away from your sight; how shall I look again upon your holy temple?’ The waters closed in over me; the deep surrounded me. R.
As my life was ebbing away, I remembered the Lord; and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple. With the voice of thanksgiving I will sacrifice to you. Deliverance belongs to the Lord. R.
