< Jonah 2 >

1 Then Jonah prayed to Jehovah his God out of the sea creatures belly.
Then Jonah prayed unto Yhwh his God out of the fish’s belly,
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 by reason of mine affliction unto Yhwh, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest 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.
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 And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes. Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy 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.
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 its bars closed upon me forever. Yet thou have brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
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 Yhwh my God.
7 When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah. And my prayer came in to thee, into thy holy temple.
When my soul fainted within me I remembered Yhwh: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
8 Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
They that observe lying vanities forsake 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 unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of Yhwh.
10 And Jehovah spoke to the sea creature, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.
And Yhwh spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
