2saying: “In my distress I called to the LORD, and He answered me. From the belly of Sheol I called for help, and You heard my voice.2I called to the LORD in my distress, and he answered me. I cried out for help from deep inside Sheol; you heard my voice.
3For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the current swirled about me; all Your breakers and waves swept over me.3You threw me into the depths, into the heart of the seas, and the current overcame me. All your breakers and your billows swept over me.
4At this, I said, ‘I have been banished from Your sight; yet I will look once more toward Your holy temple.’4But I said, "I have been banished from your sight, yet I will look once more toward your holy temple.
5The waters engulfed me to take my life; the watery depths closed around me; the seaweed wrapped around my head.5The water engulfed me up to the neck; the watery depths overcame me; seaweed was wrapped around my head.
6To the roots of the mountains I descended; the earth beneath me barred me in forever! But You raised my life from the pit, O LORD my God!6I sank to the foundations of the mountains, the earth's gates shut behind me forever! Then you raised my life from the Pit, LORD my God!
7As my life was fading away, I remembered the LORD. My prayer went up to You, to Your holy temple.7As my life was fading away, I remembered the LORD, and my prayer came to you, to your holy temple.
8Those who cling to worthless idols forsake His loving devotion.8Those who cherish worthless idols abandon their faithful love,
9But I, with the voice of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to You. I will fulfill what I have vowed. Salvation is from the LORD!”9but as for me, I will sacrifice to you with a voice of thanksgiving. I will fulfill what I have vowed. Salvation belongs to the LORD."
10And the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.10Then the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
