  • Jonah’s Prayer

    aThen Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from inside the fish.
  • Jonah's Prayer

    And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly;
  • He said,
    “I cried out to the LORD in my great trouble,
    and he answered me.
    I called to you from the land of the dead,b
    and LORD, you heard me!
  • and he said: I cried by reason of my distress unto Jehovah, and he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I: thou heardest my voice.
  • 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.
  • For thou didst cast me into the depth, into the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me: All thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.
  • Then I said, ‘O LORD, you have driven me from your presence.
    Yet I will look once more toward your holy Temple.’
  • And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes, Yet will I look again toward thy holy temple.
  • “I sank beneath the waves,
    and the waters closed over me.
    Seaweed wrapped itself around my head.
  • The waters encompassed me, to the soul: The deep was round about me, The weeds were wrapped about my head.
  • 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 went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The bars of the earth [closed] upon me for ever: But thou hast brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
  • As my life was slipping away,
    I remembered the LORD.
    And my earnest prayer went out to you
    in your holy Temple.
  • When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, Into thy holy temple.
  • Those who worship false gods
    turn their backs on all God’s mercies.
  • They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
  • 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.”
  • But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
  • Then the LORD ordered the fish to spit Jonah out onto the beach.
  • And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
