King James BibleNew American Standard Bible 1995
1Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,1Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the stomach of the fish,
2And 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.2and he said, "I called out of my distress to the LORD, And He answered me. I cried for help from the depth of Sheol; You heard my voice.
3For 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.3"For You had cast me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, And the current engulfed me. All Your breakers and billows passed over me.
4Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.4"So I said, 'I have been expelled from Your sight. Nevertheless I will look again toward Your holy temple.'
5The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.5"Water encompassed me to the point of death. The great deep engulfed me, Weeds were wrapped around my head.
6I 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.6"I descended to the roots of the mountains. The earth with its bars was around me forever, But You have brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God.
7When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.7"While I was fainting away, I remembered the LORD, And my prayer came to You, Into Your holy temple.
8They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.8"Those who regard vain idols Forsake their faithfulness,
9But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.9But I will sacrifice to You With the voice of thanksgiving. That which I have vowed I will pay. Salvation is from the LORD."
10And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.10Then the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah up onto the dry land.
