New Living TranslationNew American Standard Bible 1995
1 Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from inside the fish.1Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the stomach of the fish,
2He said, “I cried out to the LORD in my great trouble, and he answered me. I called to you from the land of the dead, and LORD, you heard me!2and 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.
3You threw me into the ocean depths, and I sank down to the heart of the sea. The mighty waters engulfed me; I was buried beneath your wild and stormy waves.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.
4Then I said, ‘O LORD, you have driven me from your presence. Yet I will look once more toward your holy Temple.’4"So I said, 'I have been expelled from Your sight. Nevertheless I will look again toward Your holy temple.'
5“I sank beneath the waves, and the waters closed over me. Seaweed wrapped itself around my head.5"Water encompassed me to the point of death. The great deep engulfed me, Weeds were wrapped around my head.
6I sank down to the very roots of the mountains. I was imprisoned in the earth, whose gates lock shut forever. But you, O LORD my God, snatched me from the jaws of death!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.
7As my life was slipping away, I remembered the LORD. And my earnest prayer went out to you in your holy Temple.7"While I was fainting away, I remembered the LORD, And my prayer came to You, Into Your holy temple.
8Those who worship false gods turn their backs on all God’s mercies.8"Those who regard vain idols Forsake their faithfulness,
9But I will offer sacrifices to you with songs of praise, and I will fulfill all my vows. For my salvation comes from the LORD alone.”9But I will sacrifice to You With the voice of thanksgiving. That which I have vowed I will pay. Salvation is from the LORD."
10Then the LORD ordered the fish to spit Jonah out onto the beach.10Then the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah up onto the dry land.
