MSG ^(1-9)Then Jonah prayed to his God from the belly of the fish.
  He prayed:
  “In trouble, deep trouble, I prayed to God.
  He answered me.
From the belly of the grave I cried, ‘Help!’
  You heard my cry.
You threw me into ocean’s depths,
  into a watery grave,
With ocean waves, ocean breakers
  crashing over me.
I said, ‘I’ve been thrown away,
  thrown out, out of your sight.
I’ll never again lay eyes
  on your Holy Temple.’
Ocean gripped me by the throat.
  The ancient Abyss grabbed me and held tight.
My head was all tangled in seaweed
  at the bottom of the sea where the mountains take root.
I was as far down as a body can go,
  and the gates were slamming shut behind me forever—
Yet you pulled me up from that grave alive,
  O God, my God!
When my life was slipping away,
  I remembered God,
And my prayer got through to you,
  made it all the way to your Holy Temple.
Those who worship hollow gods, god-frauds,
  walk away from their only true love.
But I’m worshiping you, God,
  calling out in thanksgiving!
And I’ll do what I promised I’d do!
  Salvation belongs to God!”
