Jonah 2:2-9  Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.

³ And he said: I cried out of my affliction to the Lord, and he heard me: I cried out of the belly of hell, and thou hast heard my voice.

⁴ And thou hast cast me forth into the deep in the heart of the sea, and a flood hath compassed me: all thy billows, and thy waves have passed over me.

⁵ And I said: I am cast away out of the sight of thy eyes: but yet I shall see thy holy temple again.

⁶ The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head.

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.

⁸ When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to thee, unto thy holy temple.

⁹ They that are vain observe vanities, forsake their own mercy.
