Jonah 2:1-6 NAS
Then Jonah prayed to the
Lord his God from the stomach of the fish, and he said, "I called out
of my distress to the Lord, and He answered me. I cried for help
from the depth of Sheol; You heard my voice. For You had cast me
into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the current engulfed
me. All Your breakers and billows passed over me. So I said,
'I have been expelled from Your sight. Nevertheless I will look
again toward Your holy temple.' Water encompassed me to the point of
death. The great deep engulfed me, weeds were wrapped around my
head. I descended to the roots of the mountains. The earth
with its bars was around me forever, but You have brought up my life from
the pit, O Lord my God.
