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.

- Jonah 2:5 Or waters were at my throat
Jonah 2:5-10
King James Version
5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O Lord my God.
7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.
10 And the Lord spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.

Jonah 2:5-10
New King James Version
5 The (A)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 (B)life from the pit,
O Lord, my God.
7 “When my soul fainted within me,
I remembered the Lord;
(C)And my prayer went up to You,
Into Your holy temple.
8 “Those who regard (D)worthless idols
Forsake their own [b]Mercy.
9 But I will (E)sacrifice to You
With the voice of thanksgiving;
I will pay what I have (F)vowed.
(G)Salvation is of the (H)Lord.”
10 So the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
