Jonas 2
1 And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the whale,
And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly;
2 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)
and he said: I cried by reason of my distress unto Jehovah, and he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I: thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 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.
For thou didst cast me into the depth, into the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me: All thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.
4 And I said, I am cast out of your presence: shall I indeed look again towards your holy temple?
And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes, Yet will I look again toward thy holy temple.
5 Water was poured around me to the soul: the lowest deep compassed me, my head went down
The waters encompassed me, to the soul: The deep was round about me, The weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 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.
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The bars of the earth [closed] upon me for ever: But thou hast brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
7 When my soul was failing me, I remembered the Lord; and may my prayer come to you into your holy temple.
When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, Into thy holy temple.
8 They that observe vanities and lies have forsaken their own mercy.
They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 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.
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
10 And the whale was commanded by the Lord, and it cast up Jonas on the dry [land].
And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
