Jonah 2:4-6

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴ Then I said, ‘I am cast out
    from thy presence;
how shall I again look
    upon thy holy temple?’
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.
