Jonah 2:1-10 — Jonah's Prayer
Jonah.2.1-10
1And the LORD appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. 2Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the belly of the fish, 3saying: "I called out to the LORD out of my distress, and he answered me; from the belly of Sheol I cried for help, and you heard my voice. 4For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the current surrounded me; all your breakers and your waves passed over me. 5Then I said, 'I have been driven away from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.' 6The waters encompassed me to my very soul ; the abyss surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head. 7To the roots of the mountains I went down; the earth with its bars closed behind me forever. Yet you brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God. 8When my life was fainting away within me, I remembered the LORD, and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple. 9Those who cling to worthless idols forsake their steadfast love. 10But I, with the voice of thanksgiving , will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay. Salvation belongs to the LORD!"
