Jonah 2:1-10

¹Et prparavit Dominus piscem grandem ut deglutiret Jonam: et erat Jonas in ventre piscis tribus diebus et tribus noctibus.a

²Et oravit Jonas ad Dominum Deum suum de ventre piscis,b

³et dixit: [Clamavi de tribulatione mea ad Dominum, et exaudivit me; de ventre inferi clamavi, et exaudisti vocem meam.c

⁴Et projecisti me in profundum in corde maris, et flumen circumdedit me: omnes gurgites tui, et fluctus tui super me transierunt.d

⁵Et ego dixi: Abjectus sum a conspectu oculorum tuorum; verumtamen rursus videbo templum sanctum tuum.e

⁶Circumdederunt me aqu usque ad animam: abyssus vallavit me, pelagus operuit caput meum.

⁷Ad extrema montium descendi; terr vectes concluserunt me in ternum: et sublevabis de corruptione vitam meam, Domine Deus meus.f

⁸Cum angustiaretur in me anima mea, Domini recordatus sum: ut veniat ad te oratio mea, ad templum sanctum tuum.g

⁹Qui custodiunt vanitates frustra, misericordiam suam derelinquunt.h

¹⁰Ego autem in voce laudis immolabo tibi: qucumque vovi, reddam pro salute Domino.]i
