Jonah Chapter Two

1    THEN Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,

2    And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me;  out of the belly of hell cried I,
    and thou heardest 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 look again toward thy holy temple.

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 went down to the bottoms of the mountains;  the earth with her bars was about me for ever:  yet hast thou
    brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.

7    When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD:  and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.

8    They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

9    But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving;  I will pay that that I have vowed.  Salvation is of the LORD.


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