Jonah’s Prayer
2 Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish:(A)
2 I called to the Lord in my distress,(B)
and he answered me.
I cried out for help from deep inside[a] Sheol;(C)
you heard my voice.(D)
3 When you threw me into the depths,(E)
into the heart of the seas,(F)
the current[b] overcame me.
All your breakers and your billows swept over me.(G)
4 And I said, “I have been banished(H)
from your sight,(I)
yet I will look[c] once more
toward your holy temple.”(J)
5 The water engulfed me up to the neck;[d](K)
the watery depths overcame me;
seaweed was wrapped around my head.(L)
6 I sank to the foundations of the mountains,(M)
the earth’s gates shut behind me forever!(N)
Then you raised my life(O) from the Pit, Lord my God!(P)
7 As my life was fading away,(Q)
I remembered the Lord,(R)
and my prayer came to you,(S)
to your holy temple.(T)
8 Those who cherish worthless idols(U)
abandon their faithful love,(V)
9 but as for me, I will sacrifice(W) to you
with a voice of thanksgiving.(X)
I will fulfill(Y) what I have vowed.
Salvation[e] belongs to the Lord.(Z)
10 Then the Lord commanded the fish,(AA) and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.

Jonah’s Prayer and God’s Answer
2 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the fish’s belly. 2 And he said:
“Out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
And You heard my voice.
3 (C)For You cast me into the deep,
Into the heart of the seas,
And the floods surrounded me;
(D)All Your billows and Your waves passed over me.
4 (E)Then I said, ‘I have been cast out of Your sight;
Yet I will look again (F)toward Your holy temple.’
5 The (G)waters surrounded me, even to my soul;
The deep closed around me;
Weeds were wrapped around my head.
6 I went down to the [a]moorings of the mountains;
The earth with its bars closed behind me forever;
Yet You have brought up my (H)life from the pit,
O Lord, my God.
7 “When my soul fainted within me,
I remembered the Lord;
(I)And my prayer went up to You,
Into Your holy temple.
8 “Those who regard (J)worthless idols
Forsake their own [b]Mercy.
9 But I will (K)sacrifice to You
With the voice of thanksgiving;
I will pay what I have (L)vowed.
(M)Salvation is of the (N)Lord.”
10 So the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.

Oración de Jonás
2 Entonces oró Jonás a Jehová su Dios desde el vientre del pez, 2 y dijo:
Invoqué en mi angustia a Jehová, y él me oyó;
Desde el seno del Seol clamé,
Y mi voz oíste.
3 Me echaste a lo profundo, en medio de los mares,
Y me rodeó la corriente;
Todas tus ondas y tus olas pasaron sobre mí.
4 Entonces dije: Desechado soy de delante de tus ojos;
Mas aún veré tu santo templo.
5 Las aguas me rodearon hasta el alma,
Rodeóme el abismo;
El alga se enredó a mi cabeza.
6 Descendí a los cimientos de los montes;
La tierra echó sus cerrojos sobre mí para siempre;
Mas tú sacaste mi vida de la sepultura, oh Jehová Dios mío.
7 Cuando mi alma desfallecía en mí, me acordé de Jehová,
Y mi oración llegó hasta ti en tu santo templo.
8 Los que siguen vanidades ilusorias,
Su misericordia abandonan.
9 Mas yo con voz de alabanza te ofreceré sacrificios;
Pagaré lo que prometí.
La salvación es de Jehová.
10 Y mandó Jehová al pez, y vomitó a Jonás en tierra.
