Jonah
Jonah.2
[1] Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the
fish's belly,
[2] And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto
the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and
thou heardest my voice.
[3] For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of
the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and
thy waves passed over me.
[4] Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will
look again toward thy holy temple.
[5] The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the
depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my
head.
[6] I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth
with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my
life from corruption, O LORD my God.
[7] When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD:
and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
[8] They that observe lying vanities forsake their own
mercy.
[9] But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of
thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of
the LORD.
[10] And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out
Jonah upon the dry land.
