1. From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God.
2. Jonah prayed:“I called to the Lord in my distress,and he answered me.From the depths of my ⌊watery⌋ grave I cried for help,and you heard my cry.
3. You threw me into the deep, into the depths of the sea,and water surrounded me.All the whitecaps on your waves have swept over me.
4. “Then I thought,‘I have been banished from your sight.Will I ever see your holy temple again?’
5. “Water surrounded me, threatening my life.The deep ⌊sea⌋ covered me completely.Seaweed was wrapped around my head.
