[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 thou didst hear my voice. [3] For thou
didst cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood was
round about me; all thy waves and thy billows passed over me. [4] Then I
said, `I am cast out from thy presence; how shall I again look upon thy
holy temple?' [5] The waters closed in over me, the deep was round about
me; weeds were wrapped about my head [6] at the roots of the mountains. I
went down to the land whose bars closed upon me for ever; yet thou didst
bring up my life from the Pit, O LORD my God. [7] When my soul fainted
within me, I remembered the LORD; and my prayer came to thee, into thy holy
temple. [8] Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their true loyalty.
[9] But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to thee; what I
have vowed I will pay. Deliverance belongs to the LORD!" [10] And the LORD
spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
