Verse 1

Then Jonah{H3124} prayed{H6419}{(H8691)} unto the LORD{H3068} his God{H430} out of the fish's{H1710} belly{H4578},

Verse 2

And said{H559}{(H8799)}, I cried{H7121}{(H8804)} by reason of mine affliction{H6869} unto the LORD{H3068}, and he heard{H6030}{(H8799)} me; out of the belly{H990} of hell{H7585} cried{H7768}{(H8765)} I, and thou heardest{H8085}{(H8804)} my voice{H6963}.

Verse 3

For thou hadst cast{H7993}{(H8686)} me into the deep{H4688}, in the midst{H3824} of the seas{H3220}; and the floods{H5104} compassed{H5437}{(H8779)} me about: all thy billows{H4867} and thy waves{H1530} passed over{H5674}{(H8804)} me.

Verse 4

Then I said{H559}{(H8804)}, I am cast out{H1644}{(H8738)} of thy sight{H5869}; yet I will look{H5027}{(H8687)} again{H3254}{(H8686)} toward thy holy{H6944} temple{H1964}.

Verse 5

The waters{H4325} compassed me about{H661}{(H8804)}, even to the soul{H5315}: the depth{H8415} closed me round about{H5437}{(H8779)}, the weeds{H5488} were wrapped about{H2280}{(H8803)} my head{H7218}.

Verse 6

I went down{H3381}{(H8804)} to the bottoms{H7095} of the mountains{H2022}; the earth{H776} with her bars{H1280} was about me for ever{H5769}: yet hast thou brought up{H5927}{(H8686)} my life{H2416} from corruption{H7845}, O LORD{H3068} my God{H430}.

Verse 7

When my soul{H5315} fainted{H5848}{(H8692)} within me I remembered{H2142}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}: and my prayer{H8605} came in{H935}{(H8799)} unto thee, into thine holy{H6944} temple{H1964}.

Verse 8

They that observe{H8104}{(H8764)} lying{H7723} vanities{H1892} forsake{H5800}{(H8799)} their own mercy{H2617}.

Verse 9

But I will sacrifice{H2076}{(H8799)} unto thee with the voice{H6963} of thanksgiving{H8426}; I will pay{H7999}{(H8762)} that that I have vowed{H5087}{(H8804)}. Salvation{H3444} is of the LORD{H3068}.

Verse 10

And the LORD{H3068} spake{H559}{(H8799)} unto the fish{H1709}, and it vomited out{H6958}{(H8686)} Jonah{H3124} upon the dry{H3004} land.
