Jonah 2:1-9 2Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish, 2saying, ‘I called to the Lord out of my distress,    and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried,    and you heard my voice.  3 You cast me into the deep,    into the heart of the seas,    and the flood surrounded me; all your waves and your billows    passed over me.  4 Then I said, “I am driven away    from your sight; how* shall I look again    upon your holy temple?”  5 The waters closed in over me;    the deep surrounded me; weeds were wrapped around my head  6   at the roots of the mountains. I went down to the land    whose bars closed upon me for ever; yet you brought up my life from the Pit,    O Lord my God.  7 As my life was ebbing away,    I remembered the Lord; and my prayer came to you,    into your holy temple.  8 Those who worship vain idols    forsake their true loyalty.  9 But I with the voice of thanksgiving    will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay.    Deliverance belongs to the Lord!’
