Jonah 2:5-7
Expanded Bible
5 The waters of the sea closed around my ·throat [or soul].
The deep sea ·was all around [surrounded; closed in on] me;
seaweed was wrapped around my head.
6 When I ·went [sank] down to ·where the mountains of the sea start to rise [L the roots of the mountains],
·I thought I was locked in this prison [the earth’s bars held me] forever,
but you ·saved me [L brought up my life] from the pit of death,
Lord my God.
7 “When my life ·had almost gone [was slipping/fainting away],
I remembered the Lord.
·I prayed [L My prayer went up] to you,
·and you heard my prayers in [L in] your Holy Temple.
