Jonah 2:3-5

Modern English Version

³ You cast me into the deep,
    into the heart of the seas,
    and the flood surrounded me.
All Your billows and Your waves
    passed over me.
⁴ Then I said, ‘I am cast away
    from Your sight;
yet I will look again
    to Your holy temple.’
⁵ The waters encompassed me; even to my soul
    the deep surrounded me;
    weeds were wrapped around my head.
