I sank to the foundations of the mountains;(A)
the earth with its prison bars closed behind me forever!(B)
But You raised my life(C) from the Pit, Lord my God!(D)
As my life was fading away,(E)
I remembered Yahweh.(F)
My prayer came to You,(G)
to Your holy temple.(H)
Those who cling to worthless idols(I)
forsake faithful love,(J)
but as for me, I will sacrifice(K) to You
with a voice of thanksgiving.(L)
I will fulfill(M) what I have vowed.
Salvation[a] is from the Lord!(N)

10 Then the Lord commanded the fish,(O) and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
