From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the LORD his God.

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 Nǐ jiāng wǒ tóu xià shēn yuān , jiù shì hǎi de shēn chù . dà shuǐ huánrǎo wǒ . nǐde bō làng hóng tāo dōu màn guō wǒ shēn .

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.

I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’

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.
