Jonah 2:2-4

New Living Translation

“I cried out to the Lord in my great trouble,
    and he answered me.
I called to you from the land of the dead,^[a]
    and Lord, you heard me!
³ You threw me into the ocean depths,
    and I sank down to the heart of the sea.
The mighty waters engulfed me;
    I was buried beneath your wild and stormy waves.
⁴ Then I said, ‘O Lord, you have driven me from your presence.
    Yet I will look once more toward your holy Temple.’
