5 The waters surged around me up to my neck; the deep enveloped me; seaweed wrapped around my head. 6 I went down to the roots of the mountains; to the land whose bars closed behind me forever, But you brought my life up from the pit, O LORD, my God. 7 When I became faint, I remembered the LORD; My prayer came to you in your holy temple. 8 Those who worship worthless idols abandon their hope for mercy. 9 But I, with thankful voice, will sacrifice to you; What I have vowed I will pay: deliverance is from the LORD. 10 Then the LORD commanded the fish to vomit Jonah upon dry land.
