| | 1 | Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly, | |
| | 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. | |
| | 3 | For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me. | |
| | 4 | Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. | |
| | 5 | The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head. | |
| | 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. | |
| | 7 | When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple. | |
| | 8 | They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. | |
| | 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. | |
| | 10 | And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. | |
