Jonah 2:5 in context

  1. 3For you threw me into the depths,
    in the heart of the seas.
    The flood was all around me.
    All your waves and your billows passed over me.
  2. 4I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight;
    yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’
  3. 5The waters surrounded me,
    even to the soul.
    The deep was around me.
    The weeds were wrapped around my head.
  4. 6I went down to the bottoms of the mountains.
    The earth barred me in forever:
    yet have you brought up my life from the pit, Yahweh my God.
  5. 7“When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Yahweh.
    My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.
