1

Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish,

2

saying, I called to the Lord out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice.

3

You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me; all your waves and your billows passed over me.

4

Then I said, I am driven away from your sight; how shall I look again upon your holy temple?'

5

The waters closed in over me; the deep surrounded me; weeds were wrapped around my head

6

at the roots of the mountains. I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me forever; yet you brought up my life from the Pit, O Lord my God.

7

As my life was ebbing away, I remembered the Lord; and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple.

8

Those who worship vain idols forsake their true loyalty.

9

But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay. Deliverance belongs to the Lord!

10

Then the Lord spoke to the fish, and it spewed Jonah out upon the dry land.
