Jonah 2

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the LORD his God.

2 Jonah prayed: "I called to the LORD in my distress, and he answered me. From the depths of my [watery] grave I cried for help, and you heard my cry.

3 You threw me into the deep, into the depths of the sea, and water surrounded me. All the whitecaps on your waves have swept over me.

4 "Then I thought, 'I have been banished from your sight. Will I ever see your holy temple again?'

5 "Water surrounded me, threatening my life. The deep [sea] covered me completely. Seaweed was wrapped around my head.

6 I sank to the foot of the mountains. I sank to the bottom, where bars held me forever. But you brought me back from the pit, O LORD, my God.

7 "As my life was slipping away, I remembered the LORD. My prayer came to you in your holy temple.

8 Those who hold on to worthless idols abandon their loyalty [to you].

9 But I will sacrifice to you with songs of thanksgiving. I will keep my vow. Victory belongs to the LORD!"

10 Then the LORD spoke to the fish, and it spit Jonah out onto the shore.

New King James Version NKJV

1 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the fish's belly.

2 And he said: "I cried out to the Lord because of my affliction, 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 floods surrounded me; All Your billows and Your waves passed over me.

4 Then I said, 'I have been cast out of Your sight; Yet I will look again toward Your holy temple.'

5 The waters surrounded me, even to my soul; The deep closed around me; Weeds were wrapped around my head.

6 I went down to the moorings of the mountains; The earth with its bars closed behind me forever; Yet You have brought up my life from the pit, O Lord, my God.

7 "When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the Lord; And my prayer went up to You, Into Your holy temple.

8 "Those who regard worthless idols Forsake their own Mercy.

9 But I will sacrifice to You With the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay what I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord."

10 So the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
