Jonah 2 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Jonah's Prayer

Jon 2:1 [fn]Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the stomach of the fish,

Jon 2:2and he said,
“I called out of my distress to the LORD,
And He answered me.
I cried for help from the [fn]depth of Sheol;
You heard my voice.

Jon 2:3

Jon 2:3“For You had cast me into the deep,
Into the heart of the seas,
And the current [fn]engulfed me.
All Your breakers and billows passed over me.

Jon 2:4

Jon 2:4“So I said, ‘I have been expelled from [fn]Your sight.
Nevertheless I will look again toward Your holy temple.’

Jon 2:5

Jon 2:5“Water encompassed me to the [fn]point of death.
The great deep [fn]engulfed me,
Weeds were wrapped around my head.

Jon 2:6

Jon 2:6“I descended to the roots of the mountains.
The earth with its bars was around me forever,
But You have brought up my life from [fn]the pit, O LORD my God.

Jon 2:7

Jon 2:7“While [fn]I was fainting away,
I remembered the LORD,
And my prayer came to You,
Into Your holy temple.

Jon 2:8

Jon 2:8“Those who regard [fn]vain idols
Forsake their faithfulness,

Jon 2:9

Jon 2:9But I will sacrifice to You
With the voice of thanksgiving.
That which I have vowed I will pay.
Salvation is from the LORD.”

Jon 2:10

Jon 2:10Then the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah up onto the dry land.
