¹ From deep inside the fish Jonah prayed to the LORD his God: ² "In my distress, O LORD, I called to you, and you answered me. From deep in the world of the dead I cried for help, and you heard me. ³ You threw me down into the depths, to the very bottom of the sea, where the waters were all around me, and all your mighty waves rolled over me. ⁴ I thought I had been banished from your presence and would never see your holy Temple again. ⁵ The water came over me and choked me; the sea covered me completely, and seaweed wrapped around my head. ⁶ I went down to the very roots of the mountains, into the land whose gates lock shut forever. But you, O LORD my God, brought me back from the depths alive. ⁷ When I felt my life slipping away, then, O LORD, I prayed to you, and in your holy Temple you heard me. ⁸ Those who worship worthless idols have abandoned their loyalty to you.
