1 And Ionas prayed vnto the Lorde his God out of the fisshes belly. 2 And saide: In affliction I cryed vnto the Lorde, and he heard me: out of the belly of hell cryed I, and thou heardest my voyce. 3 Thou haddest cast me downe into the deepe, into the middest of the sea, and the floods compassed me about: all thy billowes and waues passed ouer me. 4 And I saide: I am cast away out of thy sight, yet wyll I loke againe toward thyne holy temple. 5 The waters compassed me euen vnto the soule, the deapth closed me on euery side, and the weedes were wrapt about my head. 6 I went downe to the bottome of the mountaines, the earth with her barres was about me for euer: yet hast thou brought vp my lyfe from corruption, O Lorde my God.
