⁵ The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; The deep was round about me; The weeds were wrapped about my head.

⁶ I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The earth with its bars `closed' upon me for ever: Yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.

⁷ When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, into thy holy temple.

⁸ They that regard lying vanities Forsake their own mercy.

⁹ But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.

¹⁰ And Jehovah spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
