Context Reading
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. 6I went down to the bottoms of the mountains.The earth barred me in forever;yet you have brought my life up from the pit, Yahweh my God. 7“When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Yahweh.My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple. 8Those who regard vain idols forsake their own mercy.
