Jonah 2:4-6

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁴Then I said, ‘I am driven away
    from your sight;
how^[a] shall I look again
    upon your holy temple?’^(A)
⁵The waters closed in over me;
    the deep surrounded me;
weeds were wrapped around my head^(B)
⁶    at the roots of the mountains.
I went down to the land
    whose bars closed upon me forever;
yet you brought up my life from the Pit,
    O Lord my God.^(C)
