2. Jonah prayed to the Lord, his God, from the belly of the fish:
3. Out of my distress I called to the Lord,and he answered me;From the womb of Sheol I cried for help,and you heard my voice.
4. You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the sea,and the flood enveloped me;All your breakers and your billowspassed over me.
5. Then I said, “I am banished from your sight!How will I again look upon your holy temple?”
6. The waters surged around me up to my neck;the deep enveloped me;seaweed wrapped around my head.
7. I went down to the roots of the mountains;to the land whose bars closed behind me forever,But you brought my life up from the pit,O Lord, my God.
