Jonah 2:5-10
New International Version
5 The engulfing waters threatened me,[a]
the deep surrounded me;
seaweed was wrapped around my head.(A)
6 To the roots of the mountains(B) I sank down;
the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you, Lord my God,
brought my life up from the pit.(C)
7 “When my life was ebbing away,
I remembered(D) you, Lord,
and my prayer(E) rose to you,
to your holy temple.(F)
8 “Those who cling to worthless idols(G)
turn away from God’s love for them.
9 But I, with shouts of grateful praise,(H)
will sacrifice(I) to you.
What I have vowed(J) I will make good.
I will say, ‘Salvation(K) comes from the Lord.’”
10 And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
