Jonah 2:6-8

The Voice

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.

    Yet You lifted me up from the pit.
        Eternal One, You are my God!
⁷    Only as my life was fading way
        did I remember the Eternal;
    To Your sacred dwelling, Your holy temple,
        my cries did rise to You.
⁸    Those who worship worthless idols
        turn their backs on God and renounce their loyal love.
