Jonah 2:1-10 KJV

[1] Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish's belly, 

[2] And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord , and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest 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 look again toward thy holy temple. 

[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 .
