Jonas 2
1 And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the whale,
Then prayed Jonah unto the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.
2 and said, I cried in my affliction to the Lord my God, and he listened to me, [even] to my cry out of the belly of hell: you heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
And he said, I called from the midst of my distress unto the Lord, and he hath answered me: out of the depth of the grave have I cried, and thou hast heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 You did cast me into the depths of the heart of the sea, and the floods compassed me: all your billows and your waves have passed upon me.
For thou hast cast me into the deep, in the heart of the seas; and the stream compasseth me about: all thy billows and thy waves have passed over me.
4 And I said, I am cast out of your presence: shall I indeed look again toward your holy temple?
And I thought indeed, I am driven out from before thy eyes: yet I again shall look toward thy holy temple.
5 Water was poured around me to the soul: the lowest deep compassed me, my head went down
The waters surrounded me, to the peril of my life; the deep compassed me about: sea-weeds were bound about my head.
6 to the clefts of the mountains; I went down into the earth, whose bars are the everlasting barriers: yet, O Lord my God, let my ruined life be restored.
To the bottoms of the mountains did I go down; the earth [closed] her bars about me for ever: when thou broughtest up my life from the pit, O Lord my God!
7 When my soul was failing me, I remembered the Lord; and may my prayer come to you into your holy temple.
When my soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord: and my prayer came unto thee, unto thy holy temple.
8 They that observe vanities and lies have forsaken their own mercy.
They that guard false vanities forsake [the source of] their kindness.
9 But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of praise and thanksgiving: all that I have vowed I will pay to you, the Lord of [my] salvation.
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; that which I have vowed will I pay; [for] help is with the Lord.
10 And the whale was commanded by the Lord, and it cast up Jonas on the dry [land].
And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
