New King James Version

Jonah 2:4-7 New King James Version (NKJV)

4. Then I said, ‘I have been cast out of Your sight;Yet I will look again toward Your holy temple.’

5. The waters surrounded me, even to my soul;The deep closed around me;Weeds were wrapped around my head.

6. I went down to the moorings of the mountains;The earth with its bars closed behind me forever;Yet You have brought up my life from the pit,O Lord, my God.

7. “When my soul fainted within me,I remembered the Lord;And my prayer went up to You,Into Your holy temple.
