Jonah 2:6-8

Tree of Life Version

⁶ Waters surrounded me up to my soul.
    The deep sea engulfed me—
        reeds clung to my head.
⁷ To the bottoms of the mountains I went down.
    The earth with her bars was around me, forever!
    Yet You brought my life up from the Pit,
        Adonai my God.
⁸ As my soul was fading from me,
    I remembered Adonai
    and my prayer came to You,
        toward Your holy Temple.
