1 Then Jon­ah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's bel­ly, 2 And said, I cried by rea­son of mine af­flic­tion unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the bel­ly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice. 3 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods com­passed me about: all thy bil­lows and thy waves passed over me. 4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again to­ward thy holy tem­ple. 5 The wa­ters com­passed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head. 6 I went down to the bot­toms of the moun­tains; the earth with her bars was about me for ev­er: yet hast thou brought up my life from cor­rup­tion, O LORD my God. 7 When my soul faint­ed with­in me I re­mem­bered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy tem­ple. 8 They that ob­serve ly­ing van­i­ties for­sake their own mer­cy. 9 But I will sac­ri­fice unto thee with the voice of thanks­giv­ing; I will pay that that I have vowed. Sal­va­tion is of the LORD. 10 And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vom­it­ed out Jon­ah upon the dry land.
