Jonah 2

2Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish’s belly, ²And said,

^aI cried ^||by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord, and ^ahe heard me;

Out of the belly of ^||hell cried I, and ^bthou heardest my voice.

³For ^cthou hadst cast me into the deep, in the ^†midst of the seas;

And the floods compassed me about:

^dAll thy billows and thy waves passed over me.

^4eThen I said, I am cast out of thy sight;

Yet ^fI will look again ^fgtoward thy holy temple.

⁵The ^hwaters ⁱcompassed me about, ^keven to the soul:

The depth closed me round about,

The weeds were wrapped ^habout my head.

⁶I went down to the ^†lbottoms of the mountains;

The earth with ^mher bars was ^mmabout me for ever:

Yet hast thou brought up ⁿmy life ^nofrom ^||corruption, O Lord my God.

⁷When ^pmy soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord:

And ^qmy prayer came in unto thee, ^qinto ^rthine holy temple.

^8sThey that observe lying ^tvanities forsake ^utheir own mercy.

⁹But ^vI will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving;

^vwI will pay that that I have vowed.

^xSalvation is of the Lord.

¹⁰And the Lord spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
