Out Of The Deep

Out Of The Deep

Out of my distress I called
To the lord my saviour
Out of the depths of the grave I cried
And you heard my voice

For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas
The flood surrounded me
All your waves and breakers swept over me

Then I said, I have been banished from your sight; The waters closed in
To take my life
The deep surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head To the roots of the mountains I sank down
The earth beneath barred me in forever

Out of the belly of Sheol I cry – Kyrie eleison
My life is fainting away – Kyrie eleison

I'll bring your life up from the pit
I'll bring your life up from the pit

Jeschuata Elohim!

(Book of Jonah, Iob 40, 25 Psalm 104, 25f)
