Jonah 2:2-7

Thomson(i) 2 and said, In my affliction I cried to the Lord my God, and he hearkened to me: thou didst hear my cry from the womb of Hades: thou didst hearken to my prayer: 3 thou hast cast me into the depths of the heart of the sea. When streams encompassed me; all thy billows and thy waves passed over me. 4 Then I said, I am cast out from thy sight; nevertheless I will continue to look towards thy holy temple. 5 The water was poured around me to my soul; and the lowest abyss encompassed me; my head hath gone down into the clefts of mountains; 6 I have gone down to a land, the bars of which are everlastingly fixed: let my soul now, corrupted as it is, ascend, Lord, my God. 7 When my soul was fainting I remembered the Lord; let my prayer now come to thee into thy holy temple.
