Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah prayed to Jehovah his God out of the sea creatures belly.
And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the whale,
2 And he said, I called because of my affliction to Jehovah, and he answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and thou heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
and said, I cried in my affliction to the Lord my God, and he listened to me, [even] to my cry out of the belly of hell: you heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 For thou cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, and the flood was round about me. All thy waves and thy billows passed over me.
You did cast me into the depths of the heart of the sea, and the floods compassed me: all your billows and your waves have passed upon me.
4 And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes. Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
And I said, I am cast out of your presence: shall I indeed look again towards your holy temple?
5 The waters encompassed me around, even to the soul. The deep was round about me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.
Water was poured around me to the soul: the lowest deep compassed me, my head went down
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth with its bars closed upon me forever. Yet thou have brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
to the clefts of the mountains; I went down into the earth, whose bars are the everlasting barriers: yet, O Lord my God, let my ruined life be restored.
7 When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah. And my prayer came in to thee, into thy holy temple.
When my soul was failing me, I remembered the Lord; and may my prayer come to you into your holy temple.
8 Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
They that observe vanities and lies have forsaken their own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of praise and thanksgiving: all that I have vowed I will pay to you, the Lord of [my] salvation.
10 And Jehovah spoke to the sea creature, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.
And the whale was commanded by the Lord, and it cast up Jonas on the dry [land].
