5 <V 2:6>The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The abyss has walled me in. The ocean has covered my head. 6 <V 2:7>I descended to the base of the mountains. The bars of the earth have enclosed me forever. And you will raise up my life from corruption, Lord, my God. 7 <V 2:8>When my soul was in anguish within me, I called to mind the Lord, so that my prayer might come to you, to your holy temple. 8 <V 2:9>Those who in vain observe vanities, abandon their own mercy. 9 <V 2:10>But I, with a voice of praise, will sacrifice to you. I will repay whatever I have vowed to the Lord, because of my salvation.” 10 <V 2:11>And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land. Jonah 2:5-10, Catholic Public Domain Version.
