Jonah 2:5-7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ The waters closed in over me,
    the deep was round about me;
weeds were wrapped about my head
⁶     at the roots of the mountains.
I went down to the land
    whose bars closed upon me for ever;
yet thou didst bring up my life from the Pit,
    O Lord my God.
⁷ When my soul fainted within me,
    I remembered the Lord;
and my prayer came to thee,
    into thy holy temple.
