Jonah 2:2-7

²saying:

“In my distress I called to the LORD,

and He answered me.

From the belly of Sheol I called for help,

and You heard my voice.

³For You cast me into the deep,

into the heart of the seas,

and the current swirled about me;

all Your breakers and waves swept over me.

⁴At this, I said,

‘I have been banished from Your sight;

yet I will look once more

toward Your holy temple.’

⁵The waters engulfed me

to take my life;

the watery depths closed around me;

the seaweed wrapped around my head.

⁶To the roots of the mountains I descended;

the earth beneath me barred me in forever!

But You raised my life from the pit,

O LORD my God!

⁷As my life was fading away,

I remembered the LORD.

My prayer went up to You,

to Your holy temple.
