1 THEN Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly, ^1
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. ^2
3 For thou hadst cast me into [†](Water(s).md)the deep, in [†](Water(s).md)the midst of the seas; and [†](Water(s).md)the floods compassed me about: all [†](Water(s).md)thy billows and [†](Water(s).md)thy waves passed over me. ^3
4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. ^4
5 The waters compassed me about, _even_ to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head. ^5

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. ^6
7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple. ^7
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. ^8
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. ^9
10 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry _land_. ^10
