And He brought me up out of a pit of misery, and from miry clay; and He set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps.

For Your mercy is great toward me; and You have delivered my soul from the depths of hell.

For a fire has been kindled out of My wrath, it shall burn to hell below; it shall devour the land, and the fruits of it; it shall set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has brought my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in a dark [place], as those that have been long dead.

But the ways of the ungodly are like darkness; they know not how they stumble.

He has taken me, and led me away into darkness, and not [into] light.

I have come as a light into the world, so that whoever believes in Me may not abide in darkness.

And the angels who did not keep their own domain, but rather having left their own habitation, He has kept with everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day;

raging waves on the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars for whom the darkness of the netherworld has been reserved forever.

Let not the floodwater drown me, nor let the deep swallow me up; neither let the well shut its mouth upon me.

A Song of Degrees. Out of the depths have I cried to You, O Lord.
