1. Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish’s belly,
2. and said, I cried by reason of my tribulation unto the Lord, and he heard me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and thou didst hear my voice.
3. For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about; all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
4. Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will see thy holy temple again.
5. The waters compassed me about, even to the soul, the depth closed me round about; the weeds were wrapped about my head.
