Jonah 2:5-10

BBE(i) 5 The waters were circling round me, even to the neck; the deep was about me; the sea-grass was twisted round my head. 6 I went down to the bases of the mountains; as for the earth, her walls were about me for ever: but you have taken up my life from the underworld, O Lord my God. 7 When my soul in me was overcome, I kept the memory of the Lord: and my prayer came in to you, into your holy Temple. 8 The worshippers of false gods have given up their only hope. 9 But I will make an offering to you with the voice of praise; I will give effect to my oaths. Salvation is the Lord's. 10 And at the Lord's order, the fish sent Jonah out of its mouth on to the dry land.
