5 “Water encompassed me to the point of death. The deep flowed around me, Seaweed was wrapped around my head. 6 “I descended to the base of the mountains. The earth with its bars was around me forever, But You have brought up my life from the pit, LORD my God. 7 “While I was fainting away, I remembered the LORD, And my prayer came to You, Into Your holy temple. 8 “Those who are followers of worthless idols Abandon their faithfulness, 9 But I will sacrifice to You With a voice of thanksgiving. That which I have vowed I will pay. Salvation is from the LORD.” 10 Then the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah up onto the dry land. Jonah 2:5-10, New American Standard Bible.
