1 Then Jonah prayed to Yahweh, his God, out of the fish’s belly. 2 He said,
"I called because of my affliction to Yahweh.
He answered me.
Out of the belly of Sheol I cried.
You heard my voice.
3 For you threw me into the depths,
in the heart of the seas.
The flood was all around me.
All your waves and your billows passed over me.
4 I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight;
yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’
5 The waters surrounded me,
even to the soul.
The deep was around me.
The weeds were wrapped around my head.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains.
The earth barred me in forever;
yet you have brought my life up from the pit, Yahweh my God.
7 "When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Yahweh.
My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.
8 Those who regard vain idols forsake their own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving.
I will pay that which I have vowed.
Salvation belongs to Yahweh."
10 Then Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
1 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,
2 and said, I cried by reason of my tribulation unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, [and] thou didst hear my voice.
3 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about; all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will see thy holy temple again.
5 The waters compassed me about, [even] to the soul, the depth closed me round about; the weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 I descended to the roots of the mountains; the earth [put] her bars about me for ever; yet thou hast brought up my life out of the grave, O LORD my God.
7 When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD, and my prayer entered in unto thee in thy holy temple.
8 Those that observe lying vanities forsake his mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay [that] which I have vowed; that saving comes of the LORD.
10 And the LORD spoke unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].:
