Jonah 2:5-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵ Waters engulfed me so that I was near death.
    The deep surrounded me.
    Seaweed was wrapped around my head.
⁶ To the roots of the mountains I sank down.
    The earth locked me behind its bars forever.
    But you brought my life up from the pit, O Lord, my God.
⁷ When my life was ebbing away, I remembered the Lord.
    My prayer came to you, to your holy temple.
