Jonah 2:4-6

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴ I said, “I have been driven away from your sight.
    Nevertheless, I will once again look toward your holy temple.”
⁵ Waters engulfed me so that I was near death.
    The deep surrounded me.
    Seaweed was wrapped around my head.
⁶ To the roots of the mountains I sank down.
    The earth locked me behind its bars forever.
    But you brought my life up from the pit, O Lord, my God.
