1 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish.
And he prayed Jonah to Yahweh God his from [the] inward parts of the fish.
2 He began, “In my agony I cried out to the Lord and he answered me; from the depths of Sheol I pleaded for help and you answered me. (Sheol h7585)
And he said I called from distress of me to Yahweh and he answered me from [the] belly of Sheol I cried for help you heard voice my. (Sheol h7585)
3 You threw me into the deep, all the way down to the bottom of the sea. Water flooded all around me; your crashing waves rolled over me.
And you have thrown me [the] deep in [the] heart of [the] seas and a river it surrounds me all breakers your and waves your over me they have passed.
4 I said to myself, ‘The Lord has banished me from his sight. Will I ever see your holy Temple again?’
And I I said I have been driven away from before eyes your nevertheless I will repeat to look to [the] temple of holiness your.
5 The water swirled over me so I couldn't breathe; the deep sucked me down; seaweed wrapped itself around my head.
They have encompassed me waters to [the] neck [the] deep it surrounds me rush[es] [is] wrapped round to head my.
6 I sank down to the base of the mountains; the earth barred me in forever. But you, my Lord, my God, brought me back up from the abyss.
To extremities of mountains I went down the earth bars its [were] behind me for ever and you brought up from [the] pit life my O Yahweh God my.
7 As my life ebbed away, I remembered the Lord; my prayer came to you in your holy Temple.
When fainted away on me life my Yahweh I remembered and it came to you prayer my to [the] temple of holiness your.
8 Those who worship worthless idols give up their trust in God's goodness.
[those who] pay regard Vanities of nothingness loyalty their they abandon.
9 But I will offer you sacrifices, shouting out my thanks. I will keep my promises to you, for salvation comes from the Lord.”
And I with a voice of thanksgiving I will sacrifice to you [that] which I have vowed I will fulfill rescue [belongs] to Yahweh.
10 Then the Lord told the fish to spit out Jonah onto the shore.
And he spoke Yahweh to the fish and it vomited up Jonah to the dry land.
