22 A SONG OF NEW LIFE
| |||
| Refrain: | My prayer came to you in your holy temple,* and you brought up my life from the depths. | ||
| 1 |
I called to you, O God, out of my distress and you answered me;* out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice. | ||
| 2 |
You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas,* and the flood surrounded me, all your waves and billows passed over me. | ||
| 3 |
Then I said, I am driven away from your sight;* how shall I ever look again upon your holy temple? | ||
| 4 |
The waters closed in over me, the deep was round about me;* weeds were wrapped around my head at the roots of the mountains. | ||
| 5 |
I went down to the land beneath the earth,* yet you brought up my life from the depths, O God. | ||
| 6 |
As my life was ebbing away, I remembered you, O God,* and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple. | ||
| 7 |
With the voice of thanksgiving, I will sacrifice to you;* what I have vowed I will pay, for deliverance belongs to the Lord! | ||
| |||
|
My prayer came to you in your holy temple* and you brought up my life from the depths. | |||
