Jonah
Chapter Two
1 ¶ Then Jonah prayed
to the LORD his God from the fish's belly.
2 And he said: "I cried out to the LORD because of my affliction, And He
answered me. "Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, And You heard my voice.
3 For You cast me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, And the floods
surrounded me; All Your billows and Your waves passed over me.
4 Then I said, 'I have been cast out of Your sight; Yet I will look again toward
Your holy temple.'
5 The waters surrounded me, even to my soul; The deep closed around me; Weeds
were wrapped around my head.
6 I went down to the moorings of the mountains; The earth with its bars closed
behind me forever; Yet You have brought up my life from the pit, O LORD, my
God.
7 "When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD; And my prayer
went up to You, Into Your holy temple.
8 "Those who regard worthless idols Forsake their own Mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice to You With the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay what
I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD."
10 ¶ So the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
