Jonah

¹ Then Jonah prayed to his God from the belly of the fish.

² "In trouble, deep trouble, I prayed to God. He answered me. From the belly of the grave I cried, 'Help!' You heard my cry.

³ into a watery grave, With ocean waves, ocean breakers crashing over me.

⁴ thrown out, out of your sight. I'll never again lay eyes on your Holy Temple.'

⁵ The ancient Abyss grabbed me and held tight. My head was all tangled in seaweed

⁶ I was as far down as a body can go, and the gates were slamming shut behind me forever— Yet you pulled me up from that grave alive, O God, my God!

⁷ I remembered God, And my prayer got through to you, made it all the way to your Holy Temple.

⁸ walk away from their only true love.

⁹ calling out in thanksgiving! And I'll do what I promised I'd do! Salvation belongs to God!"

¹⁰ Then God spoke to the fish, and it vomited up Jonah on the seashore.
