Jonah's Prayer
Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,
Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,
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.
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.
You 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.
and I sank down to the heart of the sea.
The mighty waters engulfed me;
I was buried beneath your wild and stormy waves.
Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
Then I said, ‘O LORD, you have driven me from your presence.
Yet I will look once more toward your holy Temple.’
Yet I will look once more toward your holy Temple.’
The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
“I sank beneath the waves,
and the waters closed over me.
Seaweed wrapped itself around my head.
and the waters closed over me.
Seaweed wrapped itself around my head.
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.
I 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!
I was imprisoned in the earth,
whose gates lock shut forever.
But you, O LORD my God,
snatched me from the jaws of death!
When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
As my life was slipping away,
I remembered the LORD.
And my earnest prayer went out to you
in your holy Temple.
I remembered the LORD.
And my earnest prayer went out to you
in your holy Temple.
They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
Those who worship false gods
turn their backs on all God’s mercies.
turn their backs on all God’s mercies.
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.
But 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.”
and I will fulfill all my vows.
For my salvation comes from the LORD alone.”
