Jonah 2:5-10

DouayRheims(i) 5 (2:6) The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head. 6 (2:7) I went down to the lowest parts of the mountains: the bars of the earth have shut me up for ever: and thou wilt bring up my life from corruption, O Lord, my God. 7 (2:8) When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to thee, unto the holy temple. 8 (2:9) They that in vain observe vanities, forsake their own mercy. 9 (2:10) But I with the voice of praise will sacrifice to thee: I will pay whatsoever I have vowed for my salvation to the Lord. 10 (2:11) And the Lord spoke to the fish: and it vomited out Jonas upon the dry land.
