4. And thou hast cast me forth into the deep in the heart of the sea, and a flood hath compassed me: all thy billows, and thy waves have passed over me.
5. And I said: I am cast away out of the sight of thy eyes: but yet I shall see thy holy temple again.
6. The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head.
7. I went down to the lowest parts of the mountains: the bars of the earth have shut me up for ever: and thou wilt bring up my life from corruption, O Lord my God.
8. When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to thee, unto thy holy temple.
9. They that are vain observe vanities, forsake their own mercy.
10. But I with the voice of praise will sacrifice to thee: I will pay whatsoever I have vowed for my salvation to the Lord.
11. And the Lord spoke to the fish: and it vomited out Jonas upon the dry land.
