Jonah 2:5-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵ “Water surrounded me, threatening my life.
The deep ⌞sea⌟ covered me completely.
Seaweed was wrapped around my head.
⁶ I sank to the foot of the mountains.
I sank to the bottom,
where bars held me forever.
But you brought me back from the pit, O Lord, my God.

⁷ “As my life was slipping away, I remembered the Lord.
My prayer came to you in your holy temple.
