5 The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head. 6 I went down to the lowest parts of the mountains: the bars of the earth have shut me up for ever: and thou wilt bring up my life from corruption, O Lord my God. 7 When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to thee, unto thy holy temple. 8 They that are vain observe vanities, forsake their own mercy. 9 But I with the voice of praise will sacrifice to thee: I will pay whatsoever I have vowed for my salvation to the Lord. 10 And the Lord spoke to the fish: and it vomited out Jonas upon the dry land.
