3 Thou didst cast me into the depths of the heart of the sea, and the floods compassed me: all thy billows and thy waves have passed upon me. 4 And I said, I am cast out of thy presence: shall I indeed look again toward thy holy temple? 5 Water was poured around me to the soul: the lowest deep compassed me, my head went down 6 to the clefts of the mountains; I went down into the earth, whose bars are the everlasting barriers: yet, O Lord my God, let my ruined life be restored. 7 When my soul was failing me, I remembered the Lord; and may my prayer come to thee into thy holy temple. 8 They that observe vanities and lies have forsaken their own mercy. 9 But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of praise and thanksgiving: all that I have vowed I will pay to thee, the Lord of my salvation. 10 And the whale was commanded by the Lord, and it cast up Jonas on the dry land .
