1 IThen Jonah° prayed° to the LORD° his God° afrom the stomach° of the fish°, 2 and he said°,
  “I acalled° out of my distress° to the LORD°,
  And He answered° me.
  I cried° for help° from the Idepth° of bSheol°;
  You heard° my voice°.
  3 “For You had acast° me into the deep°,
  Into the heart° of the seas°,
  And the current° Iengulfed° me.
  All° Your bbreakers° and billows° passed° over° me.
  4 “So I said°, ‘I have been aexpelled° from IYour sight°.
  Nevertheless° I will look° again° btoward° Your holy° temple°.’
  5aWater° encompassed° me to the Ipoint of death°.
  The great bdeep° IIengulfed° me,
  Weeds° were wrapped° around my head°.
  6 “I adescended° to the roots° of the mountains°.
  The earth° with its bbars° [was] around° me forever°,
  But You have cbrought° up my life° from Ithe pit°, O LORD° my God°.
  7 “While II was afainting° away°,
  I bremembered° the LORD°,
  And my cprayer° came° to You,
  Into dYour holy° temple°.
  8 “Those who aregard° Ivain° idols°
  Forsake° their faithfulness°,
  9 But I will asacrifice° to You
  With the voice° of thanksgiving°.
  That which° I have vowed° I will bpay°.
  cSalvation° is from the LORD°.”

The prayer of Jonah.

1 ¶ Then Jonahº prayedºª unto² the LORDº his Godº out of the fish'sº belly,º² 2 And said,ºª I criedºª by reason of mine afflictionº² unto² the LORD,º and he heardºª me; out of the bellyº² of hellº criedºª I, [and] thou heardestºª my voice.º 3 For thou hadst castºª me into the deep,º in the midstº of the seas;º and the floodsº compassed¹ª me about:² all² thy billowsº and thy wavesº passed² over¹ª² me. 4 Then I² said,ºª I am cast outºª of²² thy sight;º yet² I will lookºª againºª toward² thy holyº temple.º 5 The watersº compassed me about,ºª [even] to² the soul:º the depthº closed me round about,ºª the weedsº were wrapped² about¹ª my head.º 6 I went downºª to the bottomsº of the mountains;º the earthº with her barsº [was] about² me for ever:º yet hast thou brought upºª my lifeº from corruption,º² O LORDº my God.º 7 When my soulº faintedºª within² me I rememberedºª² the LORD:º and my prayerº came inºª unto² thee, into² thine holyº temple.º 8 They that observeºª lyingº vanitiesº forsakeºª their own mercy.º 9 But I² will sacrificeºª unto thee with the voiceº of thanksgiving;º I will payºª [that] that² I have vowed.ºª Salvationº [is] of the LORD.º
