Jonah 2:3-5

Good News Translation

³ You threw me down into the depths,
    to the very bottom of the sea,
    where the waters were all around me,
    and all your mighty waves rolled over me.
⁴ I thought I had been banished from your presence
    and would never see your holy Temple again.
⁵ The water came over me and choked me;
    the sea covered me completely,
    and seaweed wrapped around my head.
