Jonah 2:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ In my distress I called to the Lord,
    and he answered me.
From the belly of the netherworld I cried out for help,
    and you heard my voice.
⁴ For you cast me into the deep,
    into the heart of the sea,
and the flood enveloped me;
    all your waves and your billows swept over me.
⁵ Then I thought, “I have been banished from your sight.
    Will I ever be allowed again
    to look upon your holy temple?”
