Holy Bible - American Standard Version(ASV)

¹Then Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish’s belly. ²And he said,

I called by reason of mine affliction unto Jehovah,

And he answered me;

Out of the belly of Sheol cried I,

And thou heardest my voice.

³For thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas,

And the flood was round about me;

All thy waves and thy billows passed over me.

⁴And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes;

Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

⁵The waters compassed me about, even to the soul;

The deep was round about me;

The weeds were wrapped about my head.

⁶I went down to the bottoms of the mountains;

The earth with its bars closed upon me for ever:

Yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.

⁷When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah;

And my prayer came in unto thee, into thy holy temple.

⁸They that regard lying vanities

Forsake their own mercy.

⁹But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving;

I will pay that which I have vowed.

Salvation is of Jehovah.

¹⁰And Jehovah spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
