Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the stomach of the fish,

And He answered me;

Out of the belly of Sheol I cried for help,

And You heard my voice.

Unchecked Copy BoxJon 2:3 -

“For You cast me into the deep,

Into the [deep] heart of the seas,

And the currents surrounded and engulfed me;

All Your breakers and billowing waves passed over me.

“Then I said, ‘I have been cast out of Your sight.

Nevertheless I will look again toward Your holy temple.’

“The waters surrounded me, to the point of death.

The great deep engulfed me,

Seaweed was wrapped around my head.

The earth with its bars closed behind me [bolting me in] forever,

Yet You have brought up my life from the pit (death), O LORD my God.

Unchecked Copy BoxJon 2:7 -

“When my soul was fainting within me,

I remembered the LORD,

And my prayer came to You,

Into Your holy temple.

[fn]Turn away from their [living source of] mercy and lovingkindness.

With the voice of thanksgiving;

I shall pay that which I have vowed.

Salvation is from the LORD!”
