3. For you threw me into the depths, in the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your waves and your billows passed over me.
4. I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’
5. The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.
6. I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth barred me in forever: yet have you brought up my life from the pit, Yahweh my God.
7. “When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Yahweh. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.
8. Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9. But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to Yahweh.”
10. Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
