3You hurled me into the deep,
into the very heart of the seas,
and the currents swirled about me;
all your waves and breakers
swept over me.

4I said, ‘I have been banished
from your sight;
yet I will look again
toward your holy temple.’

5The engulfing waters threatened me,Or waters were at my throat
the deep surrounded me;
seaweed was wrapped around my head.

6To the roots of the mountains I sank down;
the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you brought my life up from the pit,
O LORD my God.

7“When my life was ebbing away,
I remembered you, LORD,
and my prayer rose to you,
to your holy temple.

8“Those who cling to worthless idols
forfeit the grace that could be theirs.

9But I, with a song of thanksgiving,
will sacrifice to you.
What I have vowed I will make good.
Salvation comes from the LORD.”

10And the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
