Jonah's Prayer
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 2
|
|
1. Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the belly of the fish,
|
|
2. saying,
|
|
"I called out to the LORD, out of my distress,
|
|
and he answered me;
|
|
out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
|
|
and you heard my voice.
|
|
|
|
3. For you cast me into the deep,
|
|
into the heart of the seas,
|
|
and the flood surrounded me;
|
|
all your breakers and your waves
|
|
passed over me.
|
|
|
|
4. Then I said, 'I am driven away
|
|
from your sight;
|
|
yet I shall again look
|
|
upon your holy temple.'
|
|
|
|
5. The waters closed in over me to take my life;
|
|
the deep surrounded me;
|
|
weeds were wrapped about my head.
|
|
|
|
6. To the roots of the mountains I went down,
|
|
to the land whose bars closed upon me forever.
|
|
Yet you brought up my life from the pit,
|
|
O LORD my God.
|
|
|
|
7. When my life was fainting away,
|
|
I remembered the LORD,
|
|
and my prayer came to you,
|
|
into your holy temple.
|
|
|
|
8. Those who pay regard to vain idols
|
|
forsake their hope of steadfast love.
|
|
|
|
9. But I with the voice of thanksgiving
|
|
will sacrifice to you;
|
|
what I have vowed I will pay.
|
|
Salvation belongs to the LORD!"
|
|
|
|
10. And the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.
