1約拿在魚腹中向他的上帝耶和華禱告說：2「我遭遇患難的時候向你求告， 你就應允我。 我在陰間的深處呼求你， 你也垂聽我的聲音。3你把我拋進深海， 茫茫大海把我吞沒， 你的巨浪洪濤淹沒我。4我心想，你已經驅逐我離開你的面， 但我要再瞻仰你的聖殿。5波濤環繞我， 深淵吞沒我， 海草纏繞著我的頭。6我下沉到山的根基， 大地的門把我永遠關住； 然而，我的上帝耶和華啊， 你卻把我的性命從深坑中拯救出來。7我的生命漸漸消逝的時候， 我就想起了耶和華。 我的禱告進入你的聖殿， 達到你面前。8那些信奉虛無神明的人， 背棄了憐愛他們的主*，9但我要用感謝的聲音向你獻祭， 我必還我許的願， 因為救恩來自耶和華。」10於是，耶和華命令那條魚， 魚就把約拿吐到陸地上。

Jonah’s Prayer
1Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish,2saying, “I called out to the Lord, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice.3For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me; all your waves and your billows passed over me.4Then I said, ‘I am driven away from your sight; yet I shall again look upon your holy temple.’5The waters closed in over me to take my life; the deep surrounded me; weeds were wrapped about my head6at the roots of the mountains. I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me forever; yet you brought up my life from the pit, O Lord my God.7When my life was fainting away, I remembered the Lord, and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple.8Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love.9But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay. Salvation belongs to the Lord!”10And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.
