English Standard VersionKing James Bible
1Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the belly of the fish,1Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,
2saying, “I called out to the LORD, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice.2And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.
3For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me; all your waves and your billows passed over me.3For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
4Then I said, ‘I am driven away from your sight; yet I shall again look upon your holy temple.’4Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
5The waters closed in over me to take my life; the deep surrounded me; weeds were wrapped about my head5The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
6at the roots of the mountains. I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me forever; yet you brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God.6I 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.
7When my life was fainting away, I remembered the LORD, and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple.7When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
8Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love.8They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay. Salvation belongs to the LORD!”9But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.
10And the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.10And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
