1. Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,
2. And said, I cried by reason of my affliction to the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardst my voice.
3. For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods encompassed me: 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 towards thy holy temple.
5. The waters encompassed me, even to the soul: the depth inclosed me on every side, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
6. I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.
