Jonah 2

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
