Jonah’s Prayer

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