1Then Jonah prayed to Yahweh his God from the belly of the fish, 2saying,
"I called to Yahweh, out of my distress,
and he answered me;
out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
and you heard my voice. 3For you casted me into the deep,
into the heart of the seas,
and the flood was round about me;
all your waves and your billows
passed over me. 4Then I said, 'I am cast out
from your presence;
how shall I again look
upon your holy temple? 5The waters closed over me,
the deep was round me;
weeds are wrapped about my head 6at the roots of the mountains.
I went down to the land
whose bars closed upon me for ever;
yet you brought up my life from the Pit,
O Yahweh my God. 7When my soul fainted within me,
I remembered Yahweh;
and my prayer came to you,
into your holy temple. 8Those who pay regard to vain idols
forsake their true loyalty. 9But I with the voice of thanksgiving
will sacrifice to you;
what I have vowed I will pay.
Deliverance belongs to Yahweh!" 10And Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
