Jonah’s Prayer

11Then JonahH3124 prayedH6419 to the LordH3068 his GodH430 2from the stomachH4578 of the fishH1710, 2and he saidH559, “I 3calledH7121 outH7121 of my distressH6869 to the LordH3068, And He answeredH6030 me. I calledH7768 forH7768 helpH7768 from the 4depthH990 of 5SheolH7585; You heardH8085 my voiceH6963.3For You 6threwH7993 me into the deepH4688, Into the heartH3824 of the seasH3220, And the currentH5104 flowedH5437 aroundH5437 me. AllH3605 Your 7breakersH4867 and wavesH1530 passedH5674 overH5921 me.4So I saidH559, ‘I have been 8castH1644 outH1644 9of Your sightH5869. NeverthelessH389 I will lookH5027 againH3254 10towardH413 Your holyH6944 templeH1964.’511WaterH4325 encompassedH661 me to the 12pointH5315 ofH5315 deathH5315. The 13deepH8415 flowedH5437 aroundH5437 me, SeaweedH5488 was wrappedH2280 around my headH7218.6I 14descendedH3381 to the baseH7095 of the mountainsH2022. The earthH776 with its 15barsH1280 was aroundH1157 me foreverH5769, But You have 16broughtH5927 upH5927 my lifeH2425 from 17the pitH7845, LordH3068 my GodH430.7While 18I was 19faintingH5848 awayH5848, I 20rememberedH2142 the LordH3068, And my 21prayerH8605 cameH935 to You, Into 22Your holyH6944 templeH1964.8Those who 23are followersH8104 of worthlessH7723 24idolsH1892 AbandonH5800 their faithfulnessH2617,9But I will 25sacrificeH2076 to You With a voiceH6963 of thanksgivingH8426. That whichH834 I have vowedH5087 I will 26payH7999. 27SalvationH3444 is from the LordH3068.”

10Then the LordH3068 commandedH559 the 28fishH1709, and it vomitedH7006 JonahH3124 upH7006 ontoH413 the dryH3004 landH3004.
