1Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the fish’s belly.

2And 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.

3For 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.

4Then I said, ‘I have been cast out of Your sight;

Yet I will look again toward Your holy temple.’

5The waters surrounded me, even to my soul;

The deep closed around me;

Weeds were wrapped around my head.

6I went down to the 2:6 foundations or basesmoorings 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 2:8 Or LovingkindnessMercy.

9But I will sacrifice to You

With the voice of thanksgiving;

I will pay what I have vowed.

Salvation is of the Lord.”

10So the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
