Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish’s belly, 2 And 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. 3 For 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. 4 eThen I said, I am cast out of thy sight; Yet fI will look again fgtoward thy holy temple. 5 The hwaters icompassed me about, keven to the soul: The depth closed me round about, The weeds were wrapped habout my head. 6 I 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. 7 When pmy soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord: And qmy prayer came in unto thee, qinto rthine holy temple. 8 sThey that observe lying tvanities forsake utheir own mercy. 9 But vI will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; vwI will pay that that I have vowed. xSalvation is of the Lord.

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