Jonah 2:2-4

Easy-to-Read Version

² “I was in very bad trouble.
    I called to the Lord for help,
    and he answered me.
I was deep in the grave.
    I cried to you,
    and you heard my voice.

³ “You threw me into the sea.
    Your powerful waves splashed over me.
I went down, down into the deep sea.
    The water was all around me.
⁴ Then I thought, ‘Now I must go where you cannot see me,’
    but I continued looking to your holy Temple for help.
