Jonah 2:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

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.
⁸ Those who cling to worthless idols forsake the mercy that is theirs.
