Jonah 2
American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)
1 Ref Then Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly.
2 Ref And he said, I called by reason of mine affliction unto Jehovah, And he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I, `And' thou heardest my voice.
3 Ref For thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me; All thy waves and thy billows passed over me.
4 Ref And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes; Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
5 Ref The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; The deep was round about me; The weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 Ref I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The earth with its bars `closed' upon me for ever: Yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
7 Ref When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, into thy holy temple.
8 Ref They that regard lying vanities Forsake their own mercy.
9 Ref But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
10 Ref And Jehovah spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
