| Verse | |
| 1. Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the fish's belly. | |
| 2. And he said: "I cried out to the Lord because of my affliction, And He answered me. "Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, And You heard my voice. | |
| 3. For You cast me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, And the floods surrounded me; All Your billows and Your waves passed over me. | |
| 4. Then I said, 'I have been cast out of Your sight; Yet I will look again toward Your holy temple.' | |
| 5. The waters surrounded me, even to my soul; The deep closed around me; Weeds were wrapped around my head. | |
| 6. I went down to the moorings of the mountains; The earth with its bars closed behind me forever; Yet You have 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 went up to You, Into Your holy temple. | |
| 8. Those who regard worthless idols Forsake their own Mercy. | |
| 9. But I will sacrifice to You With the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay what I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord." | |
| 10. So the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land. |
