Jonah 2:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 Then I said, “I am banished from your sight!
How will I again look upon your holy temple?”(A)
6 The waters surged around me up to my neck;
the deep enveloped me;
seaweed wrapped around my head.(B)
7 I went down to the roots of the mountains;
to the land whose bars closed behind me forever,
But you brought my life up from the pit,
O Lord, my God.(C)
