1 约拿从鱼腹中向耶和华他的 神祷告，

2 说： "我从患难中求告耶和华， 他就应允我； 我从阴间的深府呼求， 你就垂听我的声音。

3 你把我投入深海， 在海洋的深处， 大水环绕我； 你的洪涛、你的波浪， 都漫过我。

4 我说： ‘我虽从你眼前被赶逐， 我仍要仰望你的圣殿。’

5 众水包围我， 几乎置我于死地； 深渊环绕我； 海草缠裹我的头。

6 我下沉直到山麓， 大地的门闩把我永远关闭； 耶和华我的 神啊！ 你却把我的性命从坑中拉上来。

7 当我心灵疲弱时， 我就思念耶和华； 我的祷告直达你面前， 进入你的圣殿。

8 那敬奉虚妄之偶像的人， 实在是离弃了怜爱他们的 神（"怜爱他们的 神"原文作"他们的恩典"）。

9 至于我， 我要带着感谢的声音向你献祭； 我所许的愿， 我必偿还。救恩是属于耶和华的。"

10 于是耶和华吩咐那鱼， 鱼就把约拿吐在陆地上。

1 Then Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish’s belly. 2 And he said,

I called by reason of mine affliction unto Jehovah,

And he answered me;

Out of the belly of Sheol cried I,

And thou heardest my voice.

3 For thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas,

And the flood was round about me;

All thy waves and thy billows passed over me.

4 And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes;

Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul;

The deep was round about me;

The weeds were wrapped about my head.

6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains;

The earth with its bars closed upon me for ever:

Yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.

7 When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah;

And my prayer came in unto thee, into thy holy temple.

8 They that regard lying vanities

Forsake their own mercy.

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

I will pay that which I have vowed.

Salvation is of Jehovah.

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