Jonah 2:1-7:
[1] Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the belly of the fish,
[2] saying, “I called out 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] For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me; all your breakers and Your waves passed over me.
[4] Then I said, ‘I am driven away from Your sight; yet I shall again look upon Your holy temple.’
[5] The waters closed in over me to take my life; the deep surrounded me; weeds were wrapped about my head.
[6] To the roots of the mountains I went down, to the land whose bars closed upon me forever. Yet You brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God.
[7] When my life was fainting away, I remembered the LORD, and my prayer came to You, into Your holy temple.
