Jonah 2:4-6

The Voice

⁴     But then I said to You,
        “I have been driven out from before Your very eyes.
        Still, I know I will gaze again on Your holy temple.”
⁵     The waters swallowed me;
        the deep abyss was covering over me.
    Seaweeds were wrapped around my head, trapping me
⁶         as I sank down to where the mountains are rooted to the earth.
    I went down to the place where death’s gate would lock me in forever.
