Jonah 2
1 Then Ionah prayed vnto the Lord his God out of the fishes belly,
And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the whale,
2 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 h7585)
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)
3 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.
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.
4 Then I saide, I am cast away out of thy sight: yet will I looke againe towarde thine holy Temple.
And I said, I am cast out of your presence: shall I indeed look again toward your holy temple?
5 The waters compassed me about vnto the soule: the depth closed me rounde about, and the weedes were wrapt about mine head.
Water was poured around me to the soul: the lowest deep compassed me, my head went down
6 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.
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.
7 When my soule fainted within me, I remembred the Lord: and my prayer came vnto thee, into thine holy Temple.
When my soul was failing me, I remembered the Lord; and may my prayer come to you into your holy temple.
8 They that waite vpon lying vanities, forsake their owne mercie.
They that observe vanities and lies have forsaken their own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice vnto thee with the voice of thankesgiuing, and will pay that that I haue vowed: saluation is of the Lord.
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.
10 And the Lord spake vnto the fish, and it cast out Ionah vpon the dry lande.
And the whale was commanded by the Lord, and it cast up Jonas on the dry [land].
