And God saw that it was good"

He has hurled into the sea"

 and water came out"

the waters saw You, they were afraid;
the depths also trembled"

and He made the waters stand up like a heap"

and caused waters to run down like rivers"

the depths of helplessness
to which He willfully sank
on my behalf.
