5 |Water surrounded me, threatening my life. The deep [sea] covered me completely. Seaweed was wrapped around my head. 6 I sank to the foot of the mountains. I sank to the bottom, where bars held me forever. But you brought me back from the pit, O LORD, my God. 7 |As my life was slipping away, I remembered the LORD. My prayer came to you in your holy temple. 8 Those who hold on to worthless idols abandon their loyalty [to you]. 9 But I will sacrifice to you with songs of thanksgiving. I will keep my vow. Victory belongs to the LORD!| 10 Then the LORD spoke to the fish, and it spit Jonah out onto the shore. Jonah 2:5-10, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
