Jonah2: 2-3, 5 [Latin] – I cried out of my affliction to the Lord, and He heard me: I cried out of the belly of hell, and thou hast heard my voice. And thou hast cast me forth into the deep, in the heart of the sea, and a flood hath compassed me. The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head.
Original in Latin:
Clamavi de tribulatione mea ad Dominum et exaudivit me; de ventre inferi clamavi et exaudisti vocem meam. Et proiecisti me in profundum in corde maris et flumen circumdedit me. Circumdederunt me aquae usque ad animam meam: abyssus vallavit me, pelagus operuit caput meum.

1 I cried unto the Lord with my voice; with my voice unto the Lord did I make my supplication.
2 I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.
5 I cried unto thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
Voce mea ad Dominum clamavi, voce mea ad Dominum deprecatus sum. Effundo in conspectu ejus orationem meam, et tribulationem meam ante ipsum pronuntio. Domine clamavi ad te, exaudi me
