The Book of JONAH - Chapter Two

1 From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God. 2 He said:

‘In my distress I called to the Lord,
    and he answered me.
From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help,
    and you listened to my cry.

3 

You hurled me into the depths,
    into the very heart of the seas,
    and the currents swirled about me;
all your waves and breakers
    swept over me.

4 

I said, “I have been banished
    from your sight;
yet I will look again
    towards your holy temple.”

5 

The engulfing waters threatened me,
    the deep surrounded me;
    seaweed was wrapped around my head.

6 

To the roots of the mountains I sank down;
    the earth beneath barred me in for ever.
But you, Lord my God,
    brought my life up from the pit.

7 

‘When my life was ebbing away,
    I remembered you, Lord,
and my prayer rose to you,
    to your holy temple.

8 

‘Those who cling to worthless idols
    turn away from God’s love for them.

9 

But I, with shouts of grateful praise,
    will sacrifice to you.
What I have vowed I will make good.
    I will say, “Salvation comes from the Lord.”’

10 And the Lord commanded the fish, 

and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
