Jonah 2:5-7
Authorized (King James) Version

5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul:
the depth closed me round about,
the weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains;
the earth with her bars was about me for ever:
yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption,
O Lord my God.
7 When my soul fainted within me
I remembered the Lord:
and my prayer came in unto thee,
into thine holy temple.

Jonah 2:5-7
New International Version

5 The engulfing waters threatened me,[a]
    the deep surrounded me;
    seaweed was wrapped around my head.(A)
6 To the roots of the mountains(B) I sank down;
    the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you, Lord my God,
    brought my life up from the pit.(C)

7 “When my life was ebbing away,
    I remembered(D) you, Lord,
and my prayer(E) rose to you,
    to your holy temple.(F)
