Jonah 2:2-6
Christian Standard Bible
2 I called to the Lord in my distress,(A)
and he answered me.
I cried out for help from deep inside[a] Sheol;(B)
you heard my voice.(C)
3 When you threw me into the depths,(D)
into the heart of the seas,(E)
the current[b] overcame me.
All your breakers and your billows swept over me.(F)
4 And I said, “I have been banished(G)
from your sight,(H)
yet I will look[c] once more
toward your holy temple.”(I)
5 The water engulfed me up to the neck;[d](J)
the watery depths overcame me;
seaweed was wrapped around my head.(K)
6 I sank to the foundations of the mountains,(L)
the earth’s gates shut behind me forever!(M)
Then you raised my life(N) from the Pit, Lord my God!(O)
Jonah 2:2-6
New International Version
2 He said:
“In my distress I called(A) to the Lord,(B)
and he answered me.
From deep in the realm of the dead(C) I called for help,
and you listened to my cry.
3 You hurled me into the depths,(D)
into the very heart of the seas,
and the currents swirled about me;
all your waves(E) and breakers
swept over me.(F)
4 I said, ‘I have been banished
from your sight;(G)
yet I will look again
toward your holy temple.’(H)
5 The engulfing waters threatened me,[a]
the deep surrounded me;
seaweed was wrapped around my head.(I)
6 To the roots of the mountains(J) I sank down;
the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you, Lord my God,
brought my life up from the pit.(K)
