1. From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God.
2. He said, "When I was in trouble, I called out to you. And you answered me. When I had almost drowned, I called out for help. And you listened to my cry.
3. You threw me into the Mediterranean Sea. I was in the middle of its waters. They were all around me. All of your rolling waves were sweeping over me.
4. I said, 'I have been driven away from you. But I will look again toward your holy temple in Jerusalem.'
5. I had almost drowned in the waves. The deep waters were all around me. Seaweed was wrapped around my head.
