Jonah 2:3-10 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

3. For thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, and the flood was round about me; all thy waves and thy billows passed over me.

4. And I said, am cast out from before thine eyes; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

5. The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; the deep was round about me; the weeds were wrapped about my head.

6. I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars closed upon me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Lord my God.

7. When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the Lord: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.

8. They that regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

9. But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.

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