Then Jonah
prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish's
belly,
02 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.
03 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.
04 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I
will look again toward thy holy temple.
05 The waters compassed me about, even to the
soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds
were wrapped about my head.

06 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.
07 When my soul fainted within me I remembered
the Lord: and my prayer came in unto thee, into
thine holy temple.
08 They that observe lying vanities forsake their
own mercy.
09 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.
