I felt the chill when the "mariners took him up and cast him forth into the raging sea," and entered into the bitterness of his soul, when, sitting under the smitten gourd, he claimed the right to be "angry even unto death."

To Jehovah I cried from my prison, He will hear me; From the depths of the grave I cry, He heareth my voice.
 * Thou hast cast me into wide waters,

Floods compass me about; All thy billows and dashing waves Roll over me. I said I am cast out from thine eyes. Oh, that I might behold once more Thy holy Temple!
 * Waters are on every side,

The deep surrounds me, Sea-weed bindeth my head. Down to the roots of the mountains I go, Earth hath shut her bars behind me Forever.
