¹ From inside the fish, Jonah prayed to the LORD his God: ² When I was in trouble, LORD, I prayed to you, and you listened to me. From deep in the world of the dead, I begged for your help, and you answered my prayer. ³ You threw me down to the bottom of the sea. The water was churning all around; I was completely covered by your mighty waves. ⁴ I thought I was swept away from your sight, never again to see your holy temple. ⁵ I was almost drowned by the swirling waters that surrounded me. Seaweed had wrapped around my head. ⁶ I had sunk down below the underwater mountains; I knew that forever, I would be a prisoner there. But, you, LORD God, rescued me from that pit. ⁷ When my life was slipping away, I remembered you-- and in your holy temple you heard my prayer. ⁸ All who worship worthless idols turn from the God who offers them mercy.
