6 The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The abyss has walled me in. The ocean has covered my head.
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.
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.
9 Those who in vain observe vanities, abandon their own mercy.
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."
11 And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
