Jonah 2:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 The waters surged around me up to my neck;
the deep enveloped me;
seaweed wrapped around my head.(A)
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.(B)
8 When I became faint,
I remembered the Lord;
My prayer came to you
in your holy temple.(C)
