2 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.
