1. Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the belly of the fish,
|
||
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
|
||
2. saying, “I called out to the LORD, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice.
|
||
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
|
||
3. For 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.
|
||
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
|
||
4. Then I said, ‘I am driven away from your sight; yet I shall again look upon your holy temple.’
|
||
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
|
||
5. The waters closed in over me to take my life; the deep surrounded me; weeds were wrapped about my head
|
||
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
|
||
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.
|
||
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
|
||
7. When my life was fainting away, I remembered the LORD, and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple.
|
||
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
|
||
8. Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love.
|
||
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
|
||
9. But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay. Salvation belongs to the LORD!”
|
||
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
|
||
10. And the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.
