Jonah 2:2-4

Modern English Version

“I called to the Lord out of my distress,
    and He answered me.
Out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
    and You heard my voice.
³ You cast me into the deep,
    into the heart of the seas,
    and the flood surrounded me.
All Your billows and Your waves
    passed over me.
⁴ Then I said, ‘I am cast away
    from Your sight;
yet I will look again
    to Your holy temple.’
