Jonah's prayer

From inside the fish's stomach, Jonah prayed to the Lord his God.

He said,

    ‘When I was in trouble, I called out to the Lord,
        and he answered my prayer.
    Yes, I called out to you for help from the deep hole of death,
        and you heard my prayer.[a]
    You threw me into the deep water,
        and I fell into the middle of the sea.
    The deep water covered me.
        You sent big waves to roll over me.
