Jonah's Prayer
From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the LORD his God.
He said:
In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me.
From the depths of the grave I called for help, and you listened to my cry.
You hurled me into the deep, into the very heart of the seas, and the currents swirled about me;
all your waves and breakers swept over me.
I said, 'I have been banished from your sight;
yet I will look again toward your holy temple.'
The engulfing waters threatened me, the deep surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head.
To the roots of the mountains I sank down, the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you brought my life up from the pit, O LORD my God.
When my life was ebbing away, I remembered you, LORD, and my prayer rose to you, to your holy temple.
Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs. But I, with a song of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good.
Salvation comes from the LORD.
And the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
