< Jonah 2 >
1 And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.
Then Ionah prayed vnto the Lord his God out of the fishes belly,
2 And he said: I cried out of my affliction to the Lord, and he heard me: I cried out of the belly of hell, and thou hast heard my voice. (Sheol )
And said, I cryed in mine affliction vnto the Lord, and he heard me: out of the bellie of hell cryed I, and thou heardest my voyce. (Sheol )
3 And thou hast cast me forth into the deep in the heart of the sea, and a flood hath compassed me: all thy billows, and thy waves have passed over me.
For thou haddest cast me into the bottome in the middes of the sea, and the floods compassed me about: all thy surges, and all thy waues passed ouer me.
4 And I said: I am cast away out of the sight of thy eyes: but yet I shall see thy holy temple again.
Then I saide, I am cast away out of thy sight: yet will I looke againe towarde thine holy Temple.
5 The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head.
The waters compassed me about vnto the soule: the depth closed me rounde about, and the weedes were wrapt about mine head.
6 I went down to the lowest parts of the mountains: the bars of the earth have shut me up for ever: and thou wilt bring up my life from corruption, O Lord my God.
I went downe to the bottome of the moutaines: the earth with her barres was about me for euer, yet hast thou brought vp my life from the pit, O Lord my God.
7 When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to thee, unto thy holy temple.
When my soule fainted within me, I remembred the Lord: and my prayer came vnto thee, into thine holy Temple.
8 They that are vain observe vanities, forsake their own mercy.
They that waite vpon lying vanities, forsake their owne mercie.
9 But I with the voice of praise will sacrifice to thee: I will pay whatsoever I have vowed for my salvation to the Lord.
But I will sacrifice vnto thee with the voice of thankesgiuing, and will pay that that I haue vowed: saluation is of the Lord.
10 And the Lord spoke to the fish: and it vomited out Jonas upon the dry land.
And the Lord spake vnto the fish, and it cast out Ionah vpon the dry lande.
