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.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 2 of Jonah. Jonah describes his experience of being thrown into the depths and separated from the presence of the temple. The prayer interprets the danger not only as a physical experience, but as a boundary situation in which every possibility of return seems lost.

Und sprach: Ich rief zu dem HERRN in meiner Angst, und er antwortete mir; ich schrie aus dem Bauche der Hölle, und du hörtest meine Stimme.
Echásteme en el profundo, en medio de los mares, Y rodeome la corriente; Todas tus ondas y tus olas pasaron sobre mí.
Tu m'as jeté dans l'abîme, dans le coeur de la mer, Et les courants d'eau m'ont environné; Toutes tes vagues et tous tes flots ont passé sur moi.
Tu mi hai gettato al fondo, nel cuor del mare; E la corrente mi ha circondato; Tutti i tuoi flutti, e le tue onde, mi son passate addosso.
Porque tu me lançaste no profundo, no coração dos mares, e a corrente das águas me cercou; todas as tuas ondas e as tuas vagas têm passado por cima de mim.
你將我投下深淵, 直到海心; 大水環繞我, 你的波浪洪濤漫過我身。
