| 2:1 | Then Jonah made prayer to the Lord his God from the inside of the fish, and said, |
| 2:2 | In my trouble I was crying to the Lord, and he gave me an answer; out of the deepest underworld I sent up a cry, and you gave ear to my voice. |
| 2:3 | For you have put me down into the deep, into the heart of the sea; and the river was round about me; all your waves and your rolling waters went over me. |
| 2:4 | And I said, I have been sent away from before your eyes; how may I ever again see your holy Temple? |
| 2:5 | The waters were circling round me, even to the neck; the deep was about me; the sea-grass was twisted round my head. |
| 2:6 | I went down to the bases of the mountains; as for the earth, her walls were about me for ever: but you have taken up my life from the underworld, O Lord my God. |
| 2:7 | When my soul in me was overcome, I kept the memory of the Lord: and my prayer came in to you, into your holy Temple. |
| 2:8 | The worshippers of false gods have given up their only hope. |
