Jonah 2 (New Living Translation)
1
Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from inside the fish.
2
He said, "I cried out to the LORD in my great trouble, and he answered me. I called to you from the world of the dead, a and LORD, you heard me!
3
You threw me into the ocean depths, and I sank down to the heart of the sea. I was buried beneath your wild and stormy waves.
4
Then I said, 'O LORD, you have driven me from your presence. How will I ever again see your holy Temple?'
5
"I sank beneath the waves, and death was very near. The waters closed in around me, and seaweed wrapped itself around my head.
6
I sank down to the very roots of the mountains. I was locked out of life and imprisoned in the land of the dead. But you, O LORD my God, have snatched me from the yawning jaws of death!
7
"When I had lost all hope, I turned my thoughts once more to the LORD. And my earnest prayer went out to you in your holy Temple.
8
Those who worship false gods turn their backs on all God's mercies.
9
But I will offer sacrifices to you with songs of praise, and I will fulfill all my vows. For my salvation comes from the LORD alone."
10
Then the LORD ordered the fish to spit up Jonah on the beach, and it did.
