³ The nets of death were round me, and the pains of the underworld had me in their grip; I was full of trouble and sorrow.

⁶ I am troubled, I am made low; I go weeping all the day.

⁴ The cords of death were round me, and the seas of evil put me in fear.

⁵ The cords of hell were round me: the nets of death came on me.

⁶ In my trouble my voice went up to the Lord, and my cry to my God: my voice came to his hearing in his holy Temple, and my prayer came before him, even into his ears.

³ When I kept my mouth shut, my bones were wasted, because of my crying all through the day.

⁴ For the weight of your hand was on me day and night; my body became dry like the earth in summer. (Selah.)

⁶ You have put me in the lowest deep, even in dark places.

⁷ The weight of your wrath is crushing me, all your waves have overcome me. (Selah.)

³ Men made sport of him, turning away from him; he was a man of sorrows, marked by disease; and like one from whom men's faces are turned away, he was looked down on, and we put no value on him.

² Then Jonah made prayer to the Lord his God from the inside of the fish, and said,

³ In my trouble I was crying to the Lord, and he gave me an answer; out of the deepest underworld I sent up a cry, and you gave ear to my voice.

³³ And he took with him Peter and James and John, and grief and great trouble came on him.

³⁴ And he said to them, My soul is very sad, even to death: be here a little time, and keep watch.

³⁵ And he went forward a little, and falling down on the earth, made request that, if possible, the hour might go from him.

³⁶ And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to you; take away this cup from me: but even so let not my pleasure, but yours be done.

⁴⁴ And being in great trouble of soul, the force of his prayer became stronger, and great drops, like blood, came from him, falling to the earth.

⁷ Who in the days of his flesh, having sent up prayers and requests with strong crying and weeping to him who was able to give him salvation from death, had his prayer answered because of his fear of God.
