Jonah 2:5-10 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

5. The waters encompassed me up to my neck; the deep surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head.

6. I went down to the foundations of the mountains; the Underworld—its bars were around me forever. But you brought up my life from the pit, Yahweh my God.

7. When my life was ebbing away from me, I remembered Yahweh, and my prayer came to you, to your holy temple.

8. Those who worship vain idols forsake their loyal love.

9. But I, with a voice of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to you; I will fulfill what I have vowed. Deliverance belongs to Yahweh!”

10. And Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out on the dry land.
