Jonah ch2, v3,10 NAV

1 year ago
11

"Out of my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me; From the womb of Sheol* I cried for help, and you heard my voice.
You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the sea, and the flood enveloped me;
All your breakers and your billows passed over me. Then I said, “I am banished from your sight!

How will I again look upon your holy temple?” The waters surged around me up to my neck;
the deep enveloped me;
seaweed wrapped around my head.
I went down to the roots of the mountains;
to the land whose bars closed behind me forever.
But you brought my life up from the pit, O Lord, my God. When I became faint, I remembered the Lord; My prayer came to you
in your holy temple.
Those who worship worthless idols abandon their hope for mercy. But I, with thankful voice,
will sacrifice to you; What I have vowed I will pay: deliverance is from the Lord."
