Jonah’s Prayer
Unchecked Copy BoxJon 2:1 -

Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the belly of the fish:

Unchecked Copy BoxJon 2:2 -

I called to the LORD in my distress,

and he answered me.

I cried out for help from deep inside[fn] Sheol;

you heard my voice.

Unchecked Copy BoxJon 2:3 -

When you threw me into the depths,

into the heart of the seas,

the current[fn] overcame me.

All your breakers and your billows swept over me.

Unchecked Copy BoxJon 2:4 -

And I said, “I have been banished

from your sight,

yet I will look[fn] once more

toward your holy temple.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJon 2:5 -

The water engulfed me up to the neck;[fn]

the watery depths overcame me;

seaweed was wrapped around my head.

Unchecked Copy BoxJon 2:6 -

I 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!

Unchecked Copy BoxJon 2:7 -

As my life was fading away,

I remembered the LORD,

and my prayer came to you,

to your holy temple.

Unchecked Copy BoxJon 2:8 -

Those who cherish worthless idols

abandon their faithful love,

Unchecked Copy BoxJon 2:9 -

but as for me, I will sacrifice to you

with a voice of thanksgiving.

I will fulfill what I have vowed.

Salvation[fn] belongs to the LORD.

Unchecked Copy BoxJon 2:10 -

Then the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
