Jonah 2:6-10

New American Standard Bible

⁶I ^(A)descended to the base of the mountains.
The earth with its ^(B)bars was around me forever,
But You have ^(C)brought up my life from ^[a]the pit, Lord my God.
⁷While ^[b]I was ^(D)fainting away,
I ^(E)remembered the Lord,
And my ^(F)prayer came to You,
Into ^(G)Your holy temple.
⁸Those who ^(H)are followers of worthless ^[c]idols
Abandon their faithfulness,
⁹But I will ^(I)sacrifice to You
With a voice of thanksgiving.
That which I have vowed I will ^(J)pay.
^(K)Salvation is from the Lord.”

¹⁰Then the Lord commanded the ^(L)fish, and it vomited Jonah up onto the dry land.

Jonah 2:6-10

New International Version

⁶To the roots of the mountains^(A) I sank down;
the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you, Lord my God,
brought my life up from the pit.^(B)

⁷“When my life was ebbing away,
I remembered^(C) you, Lord,
and my prayer^(D) rose to you,
to your holy temple.^(E)

⁸“Those who cling to worthless idols^(F)
    turn away from God’s love for them.
⁹But I, with shouts of grateful praise,^(G)
    will sacrifice^(H) to you.
What I have vowed^(I) I will make good.
    I will say, ‘Salvation^(J) comes from the Lord.’”
