Jonah 2
1 And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly;
Then prayed Jonah unto the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.
2 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)
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 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.
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 will I 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, to the soul: The deep was round about me, The weeds were wrapped about 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 bars of the earth [closed] upon me for ever: But thou hast 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 unto 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 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
They that guard false vanities forsake [the source of] their kindness.
9 But I will sacrifice unto 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 commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
