Jonah 2
1 Then Ionah prayed vnto the Lord his God out of the fishes belly,
Then prayed Jonah unto the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.
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 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 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.
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 Then I saide, I am cast away out of thy sight: yet will I looke againe towarde thine 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 compassed me about vnto the soule: the depth closed me rounde about, and the weedes were wrapt about mine 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 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 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 soule fainted within me, I remembred the Lord: and my prayer came vnto thee, into thine 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 waite vpon lying vanities, forsake their owne mercie.
They that guard false vanities forsake [the source of] their kindness.
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 unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; that which I have vowed will I pay; [for] help is with the Lord.
10 And the Lord spake vnto the fish, and it cast out Ionah vpon the dry lande.
And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
