Jonah 2 v 1-10


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


2 He said:


“In my distress I called to the Lord,
and he answered me.
From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help,
and you listened to my cry.


3
You hurled me into the depths,
into the very heart of the seas,
and the currents swirled about me;
all your waves and breakers
swept over me.


4
I said, ‘I have been banished
from your sight;
yet I will look again
toward your holy temple.’


5
The engulfing waters threatened me,
the deep surrounded me;
seaweed was wrapped around my head.


6
To the roots of the mountains I sank down;
the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you, Lord my God,
brought my life up from the pit.


7
“When my life was ebbing away,
I remembered you, Lord,
and my prayer rose to you,
to your holy temple.


8
“Those who cling to worthless idols
turn away from God’s love for them.


9
But I, with shouts of grateful praise,
will sacrifice to you.
What I have vowed I will make good.
I will say, ‘Salvation comes from the Lord.’”


10 And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
