1. Then Jonah prayed unto יְהוָ֥ה his Elohim out of the fish's belly,

2. And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto יְהוָ֥ה, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, 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, 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 about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O יְהוָ֥ה my Elohim.

7. When my soul fainted within me I remembered יְהוָ֥ה: 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 I have vowed. Salvation of יְהוָ֥ה.

10. And יְהוָ֥ה spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry.
