6 I sank to the foundations of the mountains,  * 2:6 Ps 116:3

the earth’s gates shut behind me forever!  * 2:6 Jb 38:10; Ps 9:13; Is 38:10; Mt 16:18

Then you raised my life  * 2:6 Jb 33:28; Ps 16:10; 30:3; Is 38:17 from the Pit, Lord  my God!  * 2:6 Ps 30:3; 86:13

7 As my life was fading away,  * 2:7 Ps 142:3

I remembered the Lord,  * 2:7 2Sm 14:11; Ps 77:10–11; 143:5

and my prayer came to you,  * 2:7 2Ch 30:27; Ps 18:6

to your holy temple.  * 2:7 Ps 11:4; 65:4; 88:2; Mc 1:2; Hab 2:20
