You will rescue my life from the pit, O Lord. (Jonah 2:3, 4, 5, 8)

Out of my distress I called to the LORD,

and he answered me;

From the midst of the nether world I cried for help,

and you heard my voice.

For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the sea,

and the flood enveloped me;

All your breakers and your billows 

passed over me.

Then I said, “I am banished from your sight!

yet would I again look upon your holy temple.”

When my soul fainted within me,

I remembered the LORD;

My prayer reached you

in your holy temple.
