Jonah 2
New American Standard Bible
1 Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the stomach of the fish,
2 and he said, 'I called out of my distress to the LORD, And He answered me. I cried for help from the depth of Sheol; You heard my voice.
3 'For You had cast me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, And the current engulfed me. All Your breakers and billows passed over me.
4 'So I said, 'I have been expelled from Your sight. Nevertheless I will look again toward Your holy temple.'
5 'Water encompassed me to the point of death. The great deep engulfed me, Weeds were wrapped around my head.
6 'I descended to the roots of the mountains. The earth with its bars [was] around me forever, But You have brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God.
7 'While I was fainting away, I remembered the LORD, And my prayer came to You, Into Your holy temple.
8 'Those who regard vain idols Forsake their faithfulness,
9 But I will sacrifice to You With the voice of thanksgiving. That which I have vowed I will pay. Salvation is from the LORD.'
10 Then the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah up onto the dry land.
