4 Then I said, ‘I am cast awayfrom Your sight;yet I will look againto Your holy temple.’
5 The waters encompassed me; even to my soulthe deep surrounded me;weeds were wrapped around my head.
6 I went down to the foundations of the mountains;the earth with its bars was around me forever;yet You have brought up my life from the pit,O Lord my God.
7 “When my life was ebbing away,I remembered the Lord;and my prayer came to You,into Your holy temple.
8 “Those who follow vain idolsforsake their true loyalty.
9 But I will sacrifice to Youwith the voice of thanksgiving;I will pay what I have vowed.Salvation is of the Lord!”
10 Then the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon dry land.
