2:1 From deep inside the fish Jonah prayed to the LORD his God:
2:2 "In my distress, O LORD, I called to you, and you answered me. From deep in the world of the dead I cried for help, and you heard me.
2:3 You threw me down into the depths, to the very bottom of the sea, where the waters were all around me, and all your mighty waves rolled over me.
2:4 I thought I had been banished from your presence and would never see your holy Temple again.
2:5 The water came over me and choked me; the sea covered me completely, and seaweed wrapped around my head.
2:6 I went down to the very roots of the mountains, into the land whose gates lock shut forever. But you, O LORD my God, brought me back from the depths alive.
2:7 When I felt my life slipping away, then, O LORD, I prayed to you, and in your holy Temple you heard me.
2:8 Those who worship worthless idols have abandoned their loyalty to you.
2:9 But I will sing praises to you; I will offer you a sacrifice and do what I have promised. Salvation comes from the LORD!"
2:10 Then the LORD ordered the fish to spit Jonah up on the beach, and it did.
