Jonah 2 - Interlinear Bible
Jonah's Prayer
1
Then
Jonah prayed to the
LORD his
God from the
stomach of the
fish,
2
and he
said, "I
called out of my
distress to the
LORD, And He
answered me. I
cried for
help from the
depth of
Sheol ; You
heard my
voice.
3
"For You had
cast me into the
deep, Into the
heart of the
seas, And the
current engulfed me.
All Your
breakers and
billows passed over me.
4
"So I
said, 'I have been
expelled from Your
sight.
Nevertheless I will
look again toward Your
holy temple.'
5
"
Water encompassed me to the point of
death. The great
deep engulfed me,
Weeds were
wrapped around my
head.
6
"I
descended to the
roots of the
mountains. The
earth with its
bars was
around me
forever, But You have
brought up my
life from the
pit, O
LORD my
God.
7
"While I was
fainting away, I
remembered the
LORD, And my
prayer came to You, Into Your
holy temple.
9
But I will
sacrifice to You With the
voice of
thanksgiving. That
which I have
vowed I will
pay.
Salvation is from the
LORD."
