Jonah 2:3-8 American Standard Version (ASV)

3. For thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me; All thy waves and thy billows passed over me.

4. And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes; Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

5. The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; The deep was round about me; The weeds were wrapped about my head.

6. I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The earth with its bars closed upon me for ever: Yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.

7. When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, into thy holy temple.

8. They that regard lying vanities Forsake their own mercy.
