Jonah's
Prayer |
|
|
 |
Jonah 2:1
|
|
Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the
stomach of the fish, |
|
|
|
Jonah 2:2
|
|
and 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. |
|
|
|
Jonah 2:3
|
|
"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. |
|
|
|
Jonah 2:4
|
|
"So I said, 'I have been expelled from Your
sight. Nevertheless I will look again toward Your holy temple.' |
|
|
|
Jonah 2:5
|
|
"Water encompassed me to the point of death.
The great deep engulfed me, Weeds were wrapped around my head. |
|
|
|
Jonah 2:6
|
|
"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. |
|
|
|
Jonah 2:7
|
|
"While I was fainting away, I remembered the
LORD, And my prayer came to You, Into Your holy temple. |
|
|
|
Jonah 2:8
|
|
"Those who regard vain idols Forsake their faithfulness, |
|
|
|
Jonah 2:9
|
|
But I will sacrifice to You With the voice of
thanksgiving. That which I have vowed I will pay. Salvation is from the LORD." |
|
|
|
Jonah 2:10
|
|
Then the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited
Jonah up onto the dry land. |
