1Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from inside the fish: 1Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the belly of the fish:
2I called to the LORD in my distress, and He answered me. I cried out for help in the belly of Sheol; 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.
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. 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.
4But 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 up to the neck; the watery depths overcame me; seaweed was wrapped around my head. 5The water engulfed me up to the neck; the watery depths overcame me; seaweed was wrapped around my head.
6I sank to the foundations of the mountains; the earth with its prison bars closed behind me forever! But You raised my life from the Pit, 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 Yahweh. My prayer came 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 faithful love, 8Those who cherish worthless idols abandon their faithful love,
9but as for me, I will sacrifice to You with a voice of thanksgiving. 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."
10Then 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.
