Jonah’s Prayer

2Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from inside the fish.H3124H6419H3068H430H1710H4578 2He said, “I cried out to the Lord in my great trouble, and he answered me. I called to you from the land of the dead, and Lord, you heard me!H559H7121H6869H3068H6030H990H7585H7768H8085H6963 3You threw me into the ocean depths, and I sank down to the heart of the sea. The mighty waters engulfed me; I was buried beneath your wild and stormy waves.H7993H4688H3824H3220H5104H5437H4867H1530H5674 4Then I said, ‘O Lord, you have driven me from your presence. Yet I will look once more toward your holy Temple.’H559H1644H5869H5027H3254H6944H1964 5“I sank beneath the waves, and the waters closed over me. Seaweed wrapped itself around my head.H4325H661H5315H8415H5437H5488H2280H7218 6I sank down to the very roots of the mountains. I was imprisoned in the earth, whose gates lock shut forever. But you, O Lord my God, snatched me from the jaws of death!H3381H7095H2022H776H1280H5769H5927H2416H7845H3068H430 7As my life was slipping away, I remembered the Lord. And my earnest prayer went out to you in your holy Temple.H5315H5848H2142H3068H8605H935H6944H1964 8Those who worship false gods turn their backs on all God’s mercies.H8104H7723H1892H5800H2617 9But I will offer sacrifices to you with songs of praise, and I will fulfill all my vows. For my salvation comes from the Lord alone.”H2076H6963H8426H7999H5087H3444H3068 10Then the Lord ordered the fish to spit Jonah out onto the beach.H3068H559H1709H6958H3124H3004
