Berean Study BibleNew Living Translation
1From inside the fish, Jonah prayed to the LORD his God,1 Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from inside the fish.
2saying: “In my distress I called to the LORD, and He answered me. From the belly of Sheol I called for help, and You heard my voice.2He said, “I cried out to the LORD in my great trouble, and he answered me. I called to you from the land of the dead, and LORD, you heard me!
3For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the current swirled about me; all Your breakers and waves swept over me.3You threw me into the ocean depths, and I sank down to the heart of the sea. The mighty waters engulfed me; I was buried beneath your wild and stormy waves.
4At this, I said, ‘I have been banished from Your sight; yet I will look once more toward Your holy temple.’4Then I said, ‘O LORD, you have driven me from your presence. Yet I will look once more toward your holy Temple.’
5The waters engulfed me to take my life; the watery depths closed around me; the seaweed wrapped around my head.5“I sank beneath the waves, and the waters closed over me. Seaweed wrapped itself around my head.
6To the roots of the mountains I descended; the earth beneath me barred me in forever! But You raised my life from the pit, O LORD my God!6I sank down to the very roots of the mountains. I was imprisoned in the earth, whose gates lock shut forever. But you, O LORD my God, snatched me from the jaws of death!
7As my life was fading away, I remembered the LORD. My prayer went up to You, to Your holy temple.7As my life was slipping away, I remembered the LORD. And my earnest prayer went out to you in your holy Temple.
8Those who cling to worthless idols forsake His loving devotion.8Those who worship false gods turn their backs on all God’s mercies.
9But I, with the voice of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to You. I will fulfill what I have vowed. Salvation is from the LORD!”9But I will offer sacrifices to you with songs of praise, and I will fulfill all my vows. For my salvation comes from the LORD alone.”
10And the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.10Then the LORD ordered the fish to spit Jonah out onto the beach.
