Jonah 2:1-10 -
Jonah's prayer.
Jon.2.1-10
2
1
Then Jonah prayed to Yahweh his God from the belly of the fish,
2
2
saying,
"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.
2
3
For 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.
2
4
Then I said, 'I am cast out
from your presence;
how shall I again look
upon your holy temple?
2
5
The waters closed over me,
the deep was round me;
weeds are wrapped about my head
2
6
at 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.
2
7
When my soul fainted within me,
I remembered Yahweh;
and my prayer came to you,
into your holy temple.
2
8
Those who pay regard to vain idols
forsake their true loyalty.
2
9
But I with the voice of thanksgiving
will sacrifice to you;
what I have vowed I will pay.
Deliverance belongs to Yahweh!"
2
10
And Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
