Jonah 2:1-3

New International Reader's Version

“When I was in trouble, I called out to the Lord.
    And he answered me.
When I was deep in the place of the dead,
    I called out for help.
    And you listened to my cry.
³ You threw me deep into the Mediterranean Sea.
    I was deep down in its waters.
    They were all around me.
All your rolling waves
    were sweeping over me.
