Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah prayed to Jehovah his God out of the sea creatures belly.
Then prayed Jonah unto the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.
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 he said, I called from the midst of my distress unto the Lord, and he hath answered me: out of the depth of the grave have I cried, and thou hast 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.
For thou hast cast me into the deep, in the heart of the seas; and the stream compasseth me about: all thy billows and thy waves have passed over me.
4 And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes. Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
And I thought indeed, I am driven out from before thy eyes: yet I again shall look 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 surrounded me, to the peril of my life; the deep compassed me about: sea-weeds were bound 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.
To the bottoms of the mountains did I go down; the earth [closed] her bars about me for ever: when thou broughtest up my life from the pit, O Lord 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 the Lord: and my prayer came unto thee, unto thy holy temple.
8 Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
They that guard false vanities forsake [the source of] their kindness.
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; that which I have vowed will I pay; [for] help is with the Lord.
10 And Jehovah spoke to the sea creature, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.
And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
