5. “Water surrounded me, threatening my life.The deep ⌊sea⌋ covered me completely.Seaweed was wrapped around my head.
6. I sank to the foot of the mountains.I sank to the bottom,where bars held me forever.But you brought me back from the pit, O Lord, my God.
7. “As my life was slipping away, I remembered the Lord.My prayer came to you in your holy temple.
8. Those who hold on to worthless idols abandon their loyalty ⌊to you⌋.
9. But I will sacrifice to you with songs of thanksgiving.I will keep my vow.Victory belongs to the Lord!”
10. Then the Lord spoke to the fish, and it spit Jonah out onto the shore.
