וַיֹּ֗אמֶר קָ֠רָאתִי מִצָּ֥רָה לִ֛י אֶל־יְהוָ֖ה וַֽיַּעֲנֵ֑נִי מִבֶּ֧טֶן שְׁא֛וֹל שִׁוַּ֖עְתִּי שָׁמַ֥עְתָּ קוֹלִֽי׃
vayoʾmer qaraʾtiy miṣarah liy ʾel-yhvah vayaʿaneniy mibeṭen shʾvol shivaʿtiy shamaʿta qvoliy
King James Version (KJV)

For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me. {midst: Heb. heart}

Modern English

For you threw me into the depths, in the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your waves and your billows passed over me.
