Jonah’s Prayer
1
From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the LORD his God.
2
He said: “In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me. From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help, and you listened to my cry.
3
You hurled me into the depths, into the very heart of the seas, and the currents swirled about me; all your waves and breakers swept over me.
4
I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’
5
The engulfing waters threatened me,
[a]
the deep surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head.
6
To the roots of the mountains I sank down; the earth beneath barred me in forever. But you, LORD my God, brought my life up from the pit.
7
“When my life was ebbing away, I remembered you, LORD, and my prayer rose to you, to your holy temple.
