Jonah 2:1-3

New International Version - UK

2 ¹^[a]From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God. ²He 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.
³You 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.
